Perhaps I should explain the symbolism. So, this is a doll, and while I was working on it, I thought that a doll could have more than two arms. Two are holding the doll by walls that don't exist, because there's nothing in the world to lean on right now. The doll holds itself up with three hands: one gently touches the base where the heart should be, the other holds the forearm firmly, so that it rests solely on itself and reminds us of what's important, and the other holds the bottom of the doll at its feet, but it symbolizes fear, which shouldn't come to the forefront, otherwise, the meaning will change. This is how the doll holds itself up. Since the doll is an empty creature and there's nothing inside it, the firefly stands in for the very concept of the heart. That is, something external that can become internal by passing through the shell. This is also a painful moment, since everything we receive from the outside, in this case emotions, always marches in time with pain. The doll has no mouth; it has no reason to speak. Words have little weight, so it doesn't need a mouth; this is a hint at accepting reality. But there are eyes; she watches the firefly crawl inside, or, if we consider another meaning, she leaves. Then everything we've said before is reversed; we see fading and become not just a decorative, ball-jointed doll, but a puppet. A cracked wall or floor can resemble strings. The snake represents various destructive thoughts, since the doll has no mouth; it's a good listener. Still, for the snake that lives alongside the doll, the doll represents a kind of force; it can walk and act on the snake's behalf, and the snake graciously offers its mouth in exchange for the right to do whatever it pleases. The snake is Jung's shadow, the worst thing we hide within ourselves. However, it's not universal evil; without it, we wouldn't be able to stand up for ourselves and our boundaries.
