I wanted to analyze Victor's room as it was shown in the last episode (S04E03, Merrily We Go), when he is talking with Ethan. Victor had previously thrown a lot of things out the window, so presumably he kept the items that were most important to him.
First, we see several miniature vehicles over the window, including an RV. There's another one on a small cabinet that appears to be a truck, possibly the one with cans of peaches that Victor used to hide in. There are two drawings on the wall: one depicting a road blocked by a fallen tree with a crow on it, and another probably showing the BiW.
There's also a drawing on a round surface, perhaps a record, hanging above the window. It shows six houses around a white circle containing a pentagon, with something blue in the center. Squiggly lines go down from the houses and get tangled up around the pentacle.
As Victor mentions that he now has enough space to share the room with his father because he threw a lot of things out the window, Ethan looks at the objects placed on the nearby drawer. Let's do the same.
There's a drawing with what appears to be four wrapped candies. There're also several figurines of soldiers, a charriot, a boat, a gun (a toy I imagine), and what looks to me like the bridge of a wooden ship model sticking out of a box?
So we see several visual themes that are repeated frequently in From:
- Vehicles: they seem to be the only way to enter the town; no one enters on foot, for example. Toy vehicles are found inside the lighthouse as well.
- Boats: Boyd's boat, the boat in the calendar in Donna's room, etc.
- Soldiers: Jade saw Civil War soldiers in his visions, and they also appear in several drawings.
- Circularity: a story that repeats cyclically, the merry-go-round where Victor first meets the BiW (a motif depicted in several drawings), the design of the talismans, etc.
Bonus: In some scenes with the Matthews, you can see a crokinole board (a Canadian board game) in the background. In S04E01, it's shown more clearly and seems to be combined with a different game around the border (perhaps similar to wahoo?) representing a circular race. There are horseshoes, the text "Lucky Horse Shoe," and a start/finish line.

I don't think most of these objects provide new information, they just reinforce ideas that have already been seen and discussed.
The houses with lines wrapping around a pentagon, though? That's new to me. What are your thoughts?
