This work by Suhas Roy appears as a study in that the composition seems created to throw light on the body simply for its own sake, without adding any drama, or meaning. Another element that stands out in Untitled (Disaster III) is how the parts of the body seem abstracted when viewed closely. Roy attempts to highlight various parts of the female body without showing the figure’s face, therefore eliminating any personality from the nude, thus, preventing viewers from objectifying the body.
