book project on the virgin suicides

hi guys so i have a book project for school and i choose to do the virgin suicides for my book and i need help

first is a theme statement which i kind of have ideas for already which are:

- "people can give their love only in ways they are capable"

- "we can only love to the extent at which we are willing/capable to give"

- "people can only give their love through the limits of their capability"

my explanation for this is when the boys at the end say that they loved the girls they only did in the way they were capable of, obsession, and then the lisbon sisters loved cecilia in the only way they could by joining her but feel free to leave any other theme suggestions as i wanna include ideas of the male gaze, romanticization of teenage girls and esp. their deaths as well as ideas of spiritual sickness and how insecure our world is and turning a blind eye to issues right in front of us.

secondly i need "artifacts" for the project, i need three and they can't come from the book examples are song lyrics, famous quotes, old poems, random items that represent or symbolize smth etc. it can really be anything as long as it doesn't directly come from the book so far my ideas are:

song lyrics from buzzcut season by lorde or really any song lyrics that could relate

some type of religious item/figure

something to symbolize girlhood/innocence

lastly, i need general analysis help as i have so many ideas but its so hard to find one route to go with this, its a poster that displays our quotes, theme, artifacts, and more in a creative way so i was thinking of making it similar to a collage and including photos and things from the movie while making it look similar to a children's arts and crafts/ scrapbook project with cursive, hearts, glitter glue, etc. thank you for any help!!
