"Music for me has a symbolism around the weekend. Dad and I were twitchers, I had my Young Ornithologists Club enamel badge, and we would get up super early, go out, cut samphire on the mudflats of Canvey Island, and go home. Dad would play Elgar really loud and cook samphire and offal. On a Sunday he’d go into a more Bach and Strauss; classical would transgress into Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, a bit of 'Fwank', then Sunday night telly. It was a routine. That’s where I got the idea that music was there to set the mood for everything you were doing, you can dictate the atmosphere by the music you’re playing… as a six-year-old listening to Elgar on Canvey Island." – Douglas J. McCarthy (1966–2025)

Consider Bellmer’s La Poupée.
“… we were probably rather adorable, more like little girls than the formidable boys we would have preferred to be. Yet, it seemed to be more fitting than anything else to lure the brute out of his place in order to confuse him.” – Hans Bellmer, Die Vater (1936)

Consider Klee's Horizont, Gipfelpunkt und Atmosphäre.
„Kunst gibt nicht das Sichtbare wieder, sondern macht sichtbar… Kunst verhält sich zur Schöpfung gleichnisartig. Sie ist jeweils ein Beispiel, ähnlich wie das Irdische ein kosmisches Beispiel ist.“ (Klee, Schöpferische Konfession, 1920)
