Made by Mayberry Street Miniatures, this window is a great symbol or image used for Sand Therapy. 
Windows are an important part of the architectural design of buildings. Without them, our houses would be dull, dark, and stuffy. The vital functions of windows have led them to collect several symbolic meanings over the years.

As the bridge between the interior and the exterior, windows let in elements from the outside as well as expose what is on the inside. This function of windows has led them to hold the following symbolic meanings.

As aforementioned, windows are made in such a way that they can be opened at will. This aspect makes them a perfect symbolism for opportunity. You can open the window to welcome new opportunities or close them to restrict anything unwanted.

Picture yourself in a hot stuffy room. You then go to the window and open it to let in the cool fresh air. Know the feeling that comes with breathing in deeply at that particular moment? That is often seen as freedom. This scenario can be viewed as the window presenting freedom from being confined by heat and stale air.  On the other hand, windows are seen as a symbol of liberation because they provide a way to escape.

Windows act as a veil by shielding those on the interior while at the same time partially exposing them. In the case of tinted windows, the person inside is able to view the outdoors with discretion without people on the outside realizing or watching them.
