On consideration, I decided to re-post my comment as a critique.

This figure is erotic? I hope this doesn't come across as offensive, because I genuinely admire this work, but the only way in which this work fits that descriptor is the presence of breasts and (by suggestion) That Other Thing.

Of course I know erotica is the most notoriously subjective of all classifications - Rule 34, after all. But, it seems to me that finding this erotic would indicate an almost precarious lack of more sophisticated sensibilities.

Specifically, the haunting and overwhelming pathos of the piece. Really, you do yourself a disservice. Everything, from the missing arms and the legs "melting" into the wall to the coldly passive yet searching expression speaks of the tragedy of life and beauty trapped in mindless machinery, a delightfully and poignant post-modern theme.

You've captured the idea so well, in fact, that no story or background is necessary - the mere visual image expresses it perfectly in the juxtaposition of precisely those "sexy" and "beautiful" elements that would be erotic anywhere else with the invasive and ugly machinery and the signs of cold decay. At least for me, any possibility of desire here is drowned out in the flood of pity and repugnance, and I mean the good kind of repugnance. This is first-rate work, far too significant to be called mere erotica. I think it's museum-worthy.

The only other thing I'll add is a question - did you have a specific idea in mind with that tube? It looks like it attaches to her esophagus, but then it doesn't seem to make any sense attaching to her chin. That's an incredibly minor point, of course, especially considering the surreal elements elsewhere in the figure, but I thought it worth mentioning.
