The meaning of the Vase:
The vase is a symbol of the limitations that are culturally or personally set on us that prevent us from achieving our goals or simply being ourselves. These limitations could be exterior such as cultural standards or a toxic relationship holding us back; or interior limitations such as a lack of confidence and self-worth. Shattering our vases means taking steps to rid ourselves of these unhealthy expectations and ways of living so that we may realize the life we were born to live and expand our potential.
