Mythopoeia is a term from the Ancient Greek referring to the creation of myths. In this instance, the broken doll repairs to the House of the Seahorses as a refuge from the conflict-ridden world. She recuperates there, preparing for her return to the world of space/time, when transformed as an empowered protagonist in her own destiny, she will dance to her own music.
