Unveiling the user as the Modern Prometheus




I'm attempting to accurately convey the images that I want to appear within the torso of the apparatus - ideally, it should emphasize the mechanical but also embody imagery that is more organic. I am completely seduced by the images from Gray's Anatomy, and the amazing juxtaposition that arises from these drawings placed alongside the mechanical. What is so amazing is that while these are essentially technical drawings, they are so well executed that they become art in their own sense.
Materially, the whole installation should work within the idea of old + new...old body, new technology; conventional materials, technological breakthroughs; varying view ports reveal information as one becomes more engaged with the piece - much like the pursuit of knowledge...but when it reveals itself, does the user feel relieved, or fearful?

here are the boards from the intermediary review, completed:
