The second division is the side profile of a person facing left. The etching of the side profile is a dark red brown color with a dark background. There is backward text in the head reading [HATE], [LOVE], and [SEX]. The third division in the right panel is the side profile of a person facing right against a dark blue background. In the upper right corner is a sun. The collage of the side profile is black with yellow and red metal pieces outlining the head and a dark blue background. There are red cherries, an American flag, gears, a bird, a black and white photo of a man, and text reading [SUNBURST].
