This is a continued exploration of the American story. The background is rife with gold and rust, Marlboro men with shaded glasses, signs of strength and signs of warning; Atlas tries to carry the world on his shoulders and the handwriting is on the wall. The ape brothers, Rig and Rex, look out upon the country, faces washed in the stars and stripes of our flag.
