Importance of Pool.

Eliana feels comfortable and free when she is alone in her pool because it simulates the feeling of being weightless. Eliana struggles to recreate this feeling in other areas of her life because she is constantly subjected to the judgments and criticisms of others. As Eliana grows more comfortable with her body and less willing to accept others’ input on her sense of self, she practices taking up space in a starfish position in her pool. She tries to bring forward this new philosophy on her body and its strengths into the rest of her life.
