The painting Melt Down is a reimagined, illustrated portraiture of Rudolph (Rudy) William Louis Giuliani. The painting is part of the Head Games series, reflecting the artist's grief over recent political unrest, the pandemic, and the profound changes to daily life.

The artwork features a tetradic color palette, incorporating two complementary color pairs, with orange as the dominant color in analogous variations. According to Jacob Olesen, "Orange exudes warmth and joy and is considered a fun color that provides emotional strength."
