The heart and knives were very memorable.

It showed his personal pain and gave a way for the viewer to connect to the piece. So what if it's cliche.
The baby clowns in the mirror are burning in my eyes. Clowns automatically scare me so to have the author's head replaced with many different miserable clowns, baby clowns as a matter of fact, in a mirror, scares me to death and will probably haunt my dreams.
The fingers doing jumping jacks was a great visual accompaniment to White talking about actual jumping jacks. The metaphor of the hands doing laborious physical activity fits perfectly with describing writing. Whether you're actually writing with a pen and paper or typing, your fingers are doing all the work.
