Rosenquist challenges conventional printmaking by incorporating actual manufactured objects into their work. In this print, Rosenquist anthropomorphizes laundry detergent with the addition of a real belt and oversized bobby pin. He examines the manner in which the mass media framgents images and identities, recombining and transposing them at an accelerated rate in a continual procession of television commercials, magazine advertisements, and billboards.
