Angular, faceted body Symbolism

Angular, faceted body describes a figure rendered as intersecting planes and sharp edges, emphasizing structure over flesh. Associated with early twentieth-century experiments in fractured perspective, it treats the body as a constructed image rather than a seamless whole. By exposing planar joins and edges, it foregrounds the act of seeing and the mediation of form.
