People in today’s society find it easy to become caught in the grind of the work force. Roberts approaches this idea in his piece “Disembodied Corporate Meditation”. The initial impression is somewhat uncomfortable; a second look might make it appear that the briefcase is giving birth to the male form, or that the male form is being consumed by the briefcase. Whether the torso is brought to life by the briefcase or meeting its end at its clutches, the image questions the posture of work. The briefcase, which embodies the everyday work force is here dominant over the human form. This piece turns our thoughts and emotions inward and at the same time makes a statement on the conditions of human society today.
