Yeah , but most people I ' ve talked to see it as a turkey . <| sep |> It ' s not made of Dahmer ' s victim . The pose is similar , but the statue is Louise Bourgeois ' The Arch of Hysteria and is meant to represent the historically gendered medical use of that term . You can read about it here a r c h o f h y steriaarchofhysteriaWhile it is similar to the pose Dahmer left his victim in which I won ' t post hereI ' m sure you ' ve seen it and if not you can Google it the arms and legs are both clearly in different positions . And , even if it was directly based on Dahmer ' s victim , which nothing I can find published before this year has mentioned , that doesn ' t automatically suggest anything nefarious . It would actually make sense for Bourgeois to connect the female pain and abuse she was exploring to the abuse of a serial killerin that case the two are linked by being equally horrific and it is in no way an approval of murder or abuse .
