Robert Rauschenberg, junto con Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol y Roy Lichtenstein, inició la revolución del arte pop en la década de 1960. La última etapa de la carrera de Rauschenberg fue una época en la que el artista trabajó en proyectos experimentales e innovadores, como la "Bomba de cera de ROCI USA (Wax Fire Works Series)" de 1993. Esta serie procede del proyecto filantrópico del artista, "ROCI USA", que demuestra "la creencia de Rauschenberg en el poder del arte como catalizador de un cambio social positivo". La referencia al "fuego de cera" en el título es el término de Rauschenberg para referirse a la encáustica -cera caliente con pigmentos de color- que utilizó en otras obras de la serie.

Realizada en una pequeña edición de sólo 17 ejemplares, esta obra incorpora el grabado, un medio al que volvía a menudo para explorar nuevos modos de superposición de imágenes. Rauschenberg trabajó en ediciones desde principios de la década de 1960, cuando era un habitual de las imprentas ULAE y Gemini G.E.L. Los grabados y las ediciones de Rauschenberg eran una extensión del acto creativo del artista; podía conseguir efectos esculturales y tridimensionales a través de sus ediciones.
