The inspiration behind this project was to dedicate the doorknob to the entrance of counseling services or a therapy office. It symbolizes the user’s journey toward making positive changes in their life, illuminating the path to healing and growth. This doorknob represents the courage it takes to confront challenges and seek support during difficult times. Reaching out for help can be a challenging step, yet it opens the door to healing and new possibilities.
This doorknob represents my appreciation for my father, whose love for birds mirrors the resilience we've shown as a family through recent challenges. The Eastern Bluebird serves as a powerful reminder that brighter days are on the horizon. These beautiful birds symbolize hope and represent a spiritual transformation, inspiring us to embrace renewal and resilience in the face of adversity.
