This image forms part of Roger's larger body of work called "Roger the Rat". This body of work explores Rogers's mind in the embodiment of a rat. He does this to draw the viewer into the realization that we are all animalistic in our nature. We see this notion in this image in the way that the erection that the anthropomorphic rat gets can comment on the human consciousness and how closely connected we are to animals, even in our sexual urges.
