Kim's Balcony

Kim's Apartment Balcony ("Better Call Saul," Season 5, episode 3, 'The Guy For This').

Symbol interpretation can be affected by life experience. Looking at the string of lights hanging below Kim's balcony, I fall back on my background as a meteorologist.

The hanging loops remind me of mammatus clouds, a sign of dangerous turbulence. Who knows if the interpretation is correct? It may be apropos, though.

One thing that occurs to me is, that along with Pueblo Deco arches, overhangs such as balconies are used to foreshadow tragedies. By altering and obscuring the balcony, the hanging lights neuter the symbol, making the place safe for Kim. Someday, though, the lights might not be there, and if that day comes, then Kim is in real danger.
