The statue in Tony Podesta's house is not a recreation of Jeffrey Dahmer victims. What boggles the mind is how many people post the pictures of each and don't notice they're not positioned the same. The artist is pretty well known: https://www.gallery.ca/en/see/collections/artwork.php?mkey=100798
While working at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, Charcot sought to represent hysteria by documenting the performances of his female patients. The physical tension of the hysterical arch - an intense muscular contraction, resulting in immobility and paralysis of the limbs - is emblematic of an equally extreme emotional state. Bourgeois makes this highly vulnerable position even more so by suspending her male figure from the ceiling. In choosing to represent him in an attitude traditionally associated with the female, the artist transgresses the social and sexual roles assigned to women, challenging the misconception of hysteria as a female malady.
People lie, why do you think you're here. Given the context of the way the artist intentionally presented it im gonna go with him basing it off of dahmers victim and just using that as a thin cover for the public. Obviously this context wasnt lost on Tony.

The artist isn't even a "him". You don't care about the evidence at all.
