: Where's the evidence for this?

Are you kidding me? The entire visual language of the image is telling us that this isn't an arm being ripped apart.

That's not four pieces of an arm; it's one arm at four different stages of construction. You're scrolling through the four images from left to right and as you do the arm becomes bigger and more complex in its structure. This implies that we're watching a progression of growth. It's like four frames in an animation.

So how do we know that those are four images and not four pieces in one image?
Each image is the same height from the bottom/top borders of the canvas; each image is the same distance from the viewer as all the others; and all the images are equidistant from each other. This organization, combined with the angle which we're viewing the pieces from, is blatantly stating that these are four pictures being displayed to the viewer side by side. If it was an arm torn apart in one image then the pieces would be at different distances from each other and from the viewer. Not only this but we can clearly see that several of the images fade into nothing suggesting that there is more to that object that the artist chose not to draw. If those were fragmented pieces of a broken arm then the images wouldn't be faded, they'd be drawn sharply truncated at the edges. So the arm that we see in the last image could actually be part of an entire body that we just aren't able to view.

If I saw an arm in sections with blood everywhere I would also assume it was torn apart. But the arm isn't in sections, as show in the above paragraph, and there isn't blood everywhere. Those blood splatters aren't part of the same drawing as the arm, just like that brown canvas isn't part of the drawing. The arm is drawn on top of the canvas, and on top of the blood. If that blood was supposed to have come from the arm it would have been drawn completely differently. Instead the blood is drawn as though blood was spattered onto the canvas and then an arm was drawn over it. The blood is part of the canvas, part of the image, but it is not part of the arm.
