Clothing
Identity, persona, social role
Dove

Clothing
Clothing represents the social persona — the face you present to the world. The type of clothing reflects your self-image and social role: formal wear suggests professionalism, casual clothes represent authenticity, costumes indicate playing a role. Changing clothes suggests changing identity or social role. Wearing inappropriate clothing reflects feeling out of place. In Jungian terms, clothing is the persona — the mask between self and society.
Dove
Doves are universal symbols of peace, love, and hope. In Christianity, the dove represents the Holy Spirit. In dreams, a dove may bring a message of peace after conflict or signal a period of tranquility ahead. A white dove is particularly significant, often representing spiritual purity and divine communication. Releasing doves symbolizes letting go and finding freedom.
