idioms of force / protection

English to French Other Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting bocio / art béninois
Voici deux phrases avec les expressions en question:

The notable use of counter aesthetic factors to delimit danger – and the use of ***idioms of force***, resistance, strength, and even fury- suggest how such objects (Bocio sculptures) integrate elements of the brute and raw power to challenge difficult conditions in life.

Such objects (Bocio sculptures) because they serve to both harness the negative and to distance it, are important ***idioms of protection***.

Merci d'avance pour vos propositions de leur traduction (adaptée au contexte).
