The body, for Wolter, is the vessel and its ubiquity, its familiarity, suggests universality and togetherness, not in body but in personhood. Representation is often discussed in popular artistic culture, to see is to feel represented and perhaps from a biological viewpoint, this is still largely overdue, but emotionally, Wolter suggests that the figure, the body, the representation does not need to mirror to instil feeling, to encourage that emotional engagement. Wolter taps into a universality in the human condition that is far more nuanced, something under the skin.
