Not looking different but looking affected different. Chewed, digested, rubbed. Not really sculpted. A figure that's more accumulated by abuse of handwork <-- That's a metaphor.  Like Eraserhead too "mocks and assesses the event of the family portrait." Everyone's wounded, welcome, here's your artistic panacea.

There is no narrative anymore. There is only soup, a Matisse boiled alive, a figured consumed, a PR acting as an ingredient label: "arts and crafts" "Yoruban" "Mexican Mural" flavoring. A more refined soup compared to the squalor punk of, say, Max Brand's squat house gruel. Soups are everywhere today. "Soup is easy to mass produce: a base prepared in advance can be used to a support a wide and readily available ingredients on its surface." The point being soups are brought to taste, you might even like yours.
