What does Lili's hair symbolize?
🕑 Added 2021-01-09 08:50:36 +0000 UTCLili's hair as you can see is the universe. I came up with idea when I was trying to decided how to distinguish Lili's designs both within the dream and in reality. I wanted to create a contrast between the two to help the viewer further understand that they are within a dream and not an actual real world. A good advice in storytelling is to show and not tell and that means to show the viewer what the story is about without having characters explaining it.
Lili hair and her dress and how the world functions is a separation from reality, once her memories are found and returned she is able to see her memories in her perspective and sometimes her perspective isn't always correct.
Lili hair is like an all existing matter and space considering it as a whole. Space symbolizes her curiosity to know something that is not reachable such as her memories. Dreams relate to outer space as it expresses depth.
Dreams symbolizes space as overcoming your own reality and having hope and desire to know the truth. Lili's hair is long and curly and wild to provide the viewer that she is desiring to push forward to her future to her true reality.
When she losses her hair she losses all that it symbolizes and she becomes lost in grief. The golden lights are her memories. As she receives them they become apart of her.
Lili losses her hair out of desperation but again I can't get to much into it since I'm still trying to work out the details! I am enjoying this idea and February rewards will go into deeper depth about it.

Ah! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Many people ask why I chose her hair to have a galaxy effect and I wanted to make sure everyone understood the symbolism behind it 😀
