"These questions are a concrete reaction to some questions in the internet on "how to perceive art".

Different to my questions, those questions on the artpage were pretty much the same, like a test in school would be rated.

Let me say it straight:

I don‘t want you or anybody to rate my meditation tools.

If you don‘t like it: never mind. It wasn‘t made for you, then.
For sure it is pretty hard do get a connection to one single object or painting, while billion other objects and pictures want your attention. This questions are only made for the one person who feels a connection. Then, an only when you feel a wish to get a closer look, you may use this questions to go deeper. "
