Albeit the figure is somewhat pale and haggard
looking, I don't think it is supposed to represent a
corpse. I agree with you that it is a little creepy. I
felt that it was a scantily clad woman who is very
submissive, supple, and compliant as if she had been
given hypnotol the date-rape drug. My guess would be
that it is a statement about the objectification of
women. I would conjecture that the artist was a woman
and it could very well be a self-portrait of the
artist. The short hair seems to signify a rejection of
her sexuality as many rape victims shave their heads
and some become lesbians.
