This relates to the human form by showing a body of a human in an unconventional way. the head and arms are misplaced, as well as having irregular limbs, but we still view the sculpture as a humanly form. The figure appears to be crouched in the fetal position, common for protection for humans. This portrayal of a human cowering into his or herself, seeking the protection of their own body.
