A compressed pose

I was taken aback when confronted with this next pose. The model, seated on a plinth, brought her limbs together and compressed herself into a tight interwoven form. Whereas over the past weeks I have been selecting parts of the pose, drawing them large and bringing them closer together, in other words I have been reducing the spaces in between the parts and recreating a kind of compressed version of the pose, here it was done for me. So how did I react. Well, my subjective perception of what I was looking at still seemed to push me into including her right shoulder twice in order to answer on the paper how I was feeling about the anotomical form arrangement before me.
I recall I had a similar experience two or so weeks ago and I also place this drawing here to compare.
