Salvador Dali was very interested in Sigmund Freud's use of symbolism. He loved to use symbolism in his paintings. Recurring images are elephants with long, thin legs (distortion of space), eggs (love and hope), ants (desire but also death and decay), snails (human head), locusts (waste and fear) and the famous melting clocks (Einstein's theory that time is fluid, not fixed). Dali also loved to use optical illusions.
