Stories & Symbolic Language
How do we find language for what we cannot yet express?
Literature, film, dreams and images offer ways to approach experiences that are difficult to name and questions we may not yet know how to ask.
An image may stay with us before we understand why.
A character, a dream or a scene can bring an experience into view without resolving it.
Here, symbolic language is explored through context, association and conversation. What an image means remains open to questioning.
What does this image help us notice and what might another another reading reveal?
