Tips: Playing with symbols
Symbols are powerful tools of expression. For example, a crucifix stands for faith, peace and Christianity, an egg means fertility or Easter and dead twigs with snowdrops, tulips or fritillaries represent the first stirrings of spring. Colours can also have symbolic value: among other things yellow is the colour of spring and purple the colour of mourning.
