This comes under the indexical form of representation . Here the human nude body is being used to represent  some significance. There is this woman in the chair ,looks like she is staring at the windows while the other nude women body is hanging right in front of her . The hanging part of this representation is blurred which means may be its only the imagination of the woman sitting in the chair.
