Flowers? Symbolism?

The idea suddenly occurred to me when I was got into bed at 5am and had to wake up in two hours to go to university. I was extremely restless due to high stress levels and insomnia. I just couldn't calm my mind down and rest, all I could think of was work while I lay wide away with tired eyes that seemed to be open wide.
"A flower getting damaged: dying alongside her losing it and ruining herself.
As she peals her skin away, we change to a shot of her shadow on the wall and the flower has a lot of petals that’ve fallen as she flattens herself we views outside her flat and zoom out, seeing the shilouette of her flower petal falling and sounds of rolling are heard.
Plucking yawn hair off and replacing with paper Opening title sequence.
TV screen, Chanel change: a film by Qandeel Anjum.
Her walking down road and some girls laugh, road us cleared “film name” switch to her sad face and black screen. Now film starts."
I remember trying to fall asleep and being unable to I grabbed my phone and started typing whatever came to my mind instead of wasting ideas and my current strength which is somehow keeping me awake.

For a while I was wondering why I suddenly had the idea of adding a flower in my animation. It happens so that I had been thinking about a name for my animation that related to the film and sounded catchy enough; people often relate flowers to beauty and when having a chat with a friend about body dysmorphia a while ago she kept using the word porcelain so it just stuck to me and my brain just happen to be constantly repeating that word.
Also, very early in my first sketchbook, on the first page, I made a mindmap of psychology and drew a few images aground it, one of which was a flower.

I though the imagery of it was just beautiful and the way there was quite a lot of detail on something so small, especially because it was enlarged so and drawing with a few scribbles of pen. The fall of petals also looked amazing and I though it'd be a wonderful thing to animate in such a dark and somewhat scary animation. A little bit of a juxtaposition is never bad. It's visually appealing and relaxing to see something with as lovely connotations as a flower in a film that's generally the complete opposite.

Somehow I had also been unconsciously inspired by Beauty and the Beast, although the flower wasn't exactly symbolical as it had meaning and played a huge part in the plot. It's just the imagery of something so beautiful belonging to the beast who's described and seen as ugly, scary and mean.

Drawing falling petals and leaves seemed to be a recurring thing in my book. Maybe the fact that it's finally spring finally hit me?

I love me some symbolism and  I usually manage to get it in  my animation somewhere, somehow. Whether it's very noticeable at all or not doesn't matter so much, because I know that there is a reason each object is placed in the image and if people were to be critical and search it up if they wanted, then there will be answers for their questions.
It also adds depth to the film and gives it some more meaning that isn't everything you see the first time, you might have to watch it twice or three times to understand the little scenes and why they're used.

Another reason for having petals for symbolism is because I know that if, hypothetically, this was to be a full length film I would want it to be rated PG. Most film makes try and get as low a rating as possible for their films, this way more people can watch it and that means they'll earn more. This means I couldn't possibly have graphic scenes or anything that could break the PG rating boundary and venture into 12A or 12. As long as I am to follow the PG rating list and not raise higher I will be satisfied.
So, to fill the scenes where there would be gore or some sort of inappropriate scene I could replace them with the flower and show what's happening through the plant.
