Bridge
Bridges represent transitions, connections between two states of being, and the act of overcoming obstacles. Crossing a bridge symbolizes moving from one phase of life to another. A broken bridge may indicate fear of change or feeling unable to make a necessary transition. Building a bridge suggests creating connections and solutions.

Volcanoes represent powerful emotions that have been building beneath the surface and may be ready to erupt.
