Looking closer, "an old man in boxer shorts appears in moments that describe an ordinary day in his life. H peers through a window at a bleak landscape and plays solitaire on the edge of his bed. The Kienholzes' artwork explore the seamy underside of this country's habitual optimism, eliciting sympathy, fear, and questions for a society that leaves it elderly to sit and wait for death."
