An unusually large saucepan flew close by it, and very nearly carried it off 

Arthur Rackham created this illustration for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Look at the chaotic kitchen scene; it's a whirlwind of domestic objects turned menacing! The flying saucepan, a symbol of everyday life, transforms into a threatening object. It reminds me of similar motifs in folklore, where ordinary items become imbued with magical properties. Think of cauldrons bubbling with spells in medieval witch trials. The image's chaotic energy taps into a deeper collective fear: the loss of control. This resonates with our subconscious anxieties about the world turning upside down. Rackham masterfully uses this chaos to evoke a sense of unease. The cyclical nature of this motif persists in modern art. I have seen domesticity used to embody the same kind of psychological turmoil over and over.
