you know, the more I look at this I sense that WM really wanted us to look at this as a portrait of himself......check it out.....
teeth tearing at a life preserver nailed at the foot of the upside down crucifix?(thats a tongue ,its licking the life preserver).......clearly a depiction of not only an atheist, but a very aggressive, angry atheist....maybe even an agnosticatheist.......
limp penis hanging(That is a finger dude, note the finger nail) from the medical forceps.....obviously someone who feels emasculated.....
down in the lower right, man wearing high heels next to a pair of obviously masculine poised legs.....at the very least, obvious repressed homosexual tendencies......(You seem to see sexuality in a portion that looks sexless to me)
the guy in the middle, trying to push a round object into square holes.....(There is no hole where you seem to think their is)
I think the similarities to WM are inescapable.....probably what attracted him to the picture in the first place......
