Sometimes I wish I knew Japanese. If I knew Japanese I'd be able to know the modus operandi between this artist's illustrations. So, at best I'm guessing.
It seems to me there is an a theme of technology, sexuality, and the ethereal nature of physicality. In this picture, for instance, a man is bursting out of a woman's body. It is okay, she is not in pain, for she is being shed much as a lizard sheds his skin. One does not know where the being of the woman ends whatsoever.
In another work, a woman becomes a cage imprisoning a little boy. In another, some disembodied hands are sewing up a woman's throat. Admittedly, this is all very disturbing, offputting, but still very beautiful.
What makes this worth looking through is the emotional response this elicits. I defy you to look at that picture and feel nothing.

This one looks more to me like a woman shedding her own outward appearance than a man begetting a woman....just my thoughts
very interesting art
Same here, I don't think the artist is aiming for torture and/or cruelty.
