For the sculpture, Kelley used a folk-art technique called "memory ware", covering the surfaces with broken bottles, tools, flatware, and pottery shards collected on one of the islands. The huge central sculptural figure is based on a statue of astronaut John Glenn that stood in the library of Westland High School, Kelley's alma mater. Photo reproductions of newspaper clippings (placed in large black racks) document local culture from 1968 to 1972. Each clipping is rendered on three different types of paper, giving them a documentary, nostalgic, or "art photography" feel.
