Cinderella’s Flip-Flop following a beach ball

Before going to bed, I created this miniature canvas for a review of a recently purchased beach charm. Upon awakening, I studied my piece, trying to compose a title.

 

Spontaneously, after googling different meanings for the common beach ball, the following description appeared with an interesting analogy that could definitely support and give insight to my nightmare. This experience is not uncommon to intensive work I’ve done with visual journaling.

 

“With one hand, you're holding a beach ball underwater. This beach ball represents something that you've been actively avoiding or repressing, like an unwanted emotion (e.g., shame, fear, or anger), life experience (e.g., criticism or social rejection), or memory (e.g., prior trauma).”
