It is parthuman and part a figment of the artist’s imagination. Here, humanity merges into a broader nature and consciousness slips into dream. Head, upper arms and legs are missing in this drastically abbreviated work. It is frontally and symmetrically composed, with arms folded enigmatically below the breasts which seem on the verge of doubling up as eyes.” (Bodies Transformed, Ng Eng Teng in the Nineties, Page 29).
