Interprétée comme une figure de l’inconscient et du corps maternel, la boite contient toujours un secret : elle enferme et sépare du monde ce qui est fragile précieux ou redoutable. Elle protège mais elle risque aussi d’étouffer.
Symbolically interpreted as a figure of the unconscious and the maternal body, the box always encloses a secret: it locks in what is fragile, precious or dangerous, separating it at the same time from the rest of the world. It may well become oppressive as much as it is protective.
