And now...A naked man.

It's a nice piece to look upon. But there's a critical piece missing here. Can you guess? The message.

What was the point behind this detailed anatomical man of so many words? We are given so little clues to this. Arms hidden behind the head to convey guilt or perhaps wrongful imprisonment? A cluster of jumbled letters reach out from behind him to consume or does he attempt to hide the cluster out of a sense of shame?  His form indicates a lack of concealment to the rest of his torso. A reference to sexuality one might think.

Without further elaborations, I can only guess what the purpose of this piece is trying to aim at. Further details have to be added.
