“I named this project as The Nervous Mute Rose Seeking Her Jackpot, where The Nervous Mute is a metaphor that indicates a person who is very expressionless, feeling trapped, numbing in her feelings, and could never speak up for herself. Rose is a common name referring to a type of flower, major change, or new beginning, and also, since I may not want to mention my name directly in the title, Rose is the right name to choose from. Seeking Her Jackpot is a metaphor regarding the girl flnding her light (jackpot) out of the darkness.”
