    Kara builds a sandcastle that represents the fragile stability of her life with her mother, though she does not realize its impermanence. She sees the perfect castle as an escape from her troubles. Kara tries to hold on to something meaningful like the cowrie shell but loses control as circumstances beyond her change. A wave approaching her represents impending difficulties that will affect her as well. Her search for meaning and escape among life's debris only turns up meaningless man-made trash instead of the natural treasure she seeks.

    plastic bottle tops. (Page 160)
