can feelings be personified or is it more a projection?

i am writing an essay on Life of Pi and i would like to say that Richard Parker is a projection of Pi's fears.

Does the use of the word projection make sense?

Sounds fine.
Wonderful read, I simply paessd this on to a friend who was carrying out a little research on that. And he actually bought me meal simply because I discovered it for him! So allow me to rephrase that: Thank you for meal!
