The Open Door


Type: Gallery Image | Not Vetted


Opened Red Wooden Door

The everlasting open door in Riddell’s The Open Door symbolizes unresolved tensions, both personal and societal, anxieties that refuse to be suppressed nor ignored. It serves as a metaphor for the fragility of Victorian stability, representing hidden struggles, guilt left unacknowledged, and the limits of human comprehension in a seemingly “haunted” world.
