Water

We decided to make shirts for each book and Mackenzie and I read The Awakening first so we decided to put a diamond ring on the back which represents her marriage and former life. We filled the diamond with water because the book had a lot to do with water. Edna the main character learned how to swim and she found that in water she felt free and her true self. She also ended up dying in water when she swam as far as she could until she died. The water in the ring is escaping the ring and dripping down to show how Edna's personality and life was changing and becoming free from restraints. I think this symbol that we thought of had a lot of meaning and it was a simple image so it was easy to create.
