The printed French text "une jet d'eau formidable souleva le baigneur" (“a mighty jet of water lifted the bather”) references an exaggerated, dreamlike quality and may evoke comparisons to surrealist motifs or classic poetic expressions, similar to themes in Baudelaire’s poem “Le Jet d'eau” (The Fountain) that romanticize water’s power and beauty. Helander’s choice of collage and text overlay aligns with his signature style, often seen in works that blend pop culture, commercial art, and surrealist undertones.
