The body is subjected to sustained crisis; it can no longer be seen, be shown, as automonous,as a whole and integrated being. It is reduced, deformed, reformed and appears as configurations far removed from conforming to an ideal or to nature.

Torso demonstrates a reductive approach to representing the figure; hips and lower limbs are gathered into a compact mass and are consolidated as a stump. The pace of delineation alters as we cast our attention upwards, vertically; the figure assumes a form analogous to a slender tree trunk which ends abruptly, as an indecisive terminus.” (Bodies & Figures, An Overview of Ng Eng Teng, Page 18).
