note the ribcage is fully open...
the main purpose of our ribcage is to protect our orgnans, our insides, hence why it is closed
the insides here are vulnerable
I don't know if this is relevant but Ramiro Rodriguez has a similar piece to the Undertow cover with a rib cage open and a person inside it. However, it was done in 2000, way after Undertow was released so I guess that discounts any chance that Tool were influenced by it in the making of the Undertow artwork.
Ramiro Rodriguez contributed his artwork for a couple of Tool posters (he may have done more than that, that's as much as I know though).

that never occured to me, as I really did not see how it formed a ribcage, but what you said really makes sense to me. I agree.
I read that the ribcage is an actual sculpture Adam did.
If you sized it up, it belongs to the obese nude woman in the conver.
The Undertow album has very different art work, it's like there is a story behind every disturbed picture, how you interpret is as individual as you and I.
