Because his brother Allie died with little warning, Holden Caulfield believes that everything around him will suddenly disappear, leaving him alone in the world. He's so obsessed with this that on his quest through New York, Holden desperately tries to find where the ducks go when their pond freezes over. He doesn't want anything, even the feeblest of creatures, to leave him alone for a second of the day. The picture I created represents Holden's fear of isolation, which is symbolized through the duck slowly fading away.
