"If Olympus differs from every other celestial home, it is thanks to the presence of three unnatural divinities: Apollo, Artemis, Athena. More than mere functions, these imperious custodians of the unique stripped away that thin, shrouding curtain which nature weaves about its forces." Cadmus And Harmony pg. 51
The Oz I found in Bozeman was that in the form of graffiti, for within graffiti lies a symbolic message from the underground network that boils beneath the surface of modern society. What greater symbolism exists that surrounds someone working behind a curtain. The very thought that society is ran behind mostly curtains of fear and doubt within media and politics is not without a sense of irony when comparing is the Wizard of Oz. Ha! the movie should be titled, "That's What YOU Thought!"
This artwork is by a European Revolutionist that operates entirely by the dark of night, and sometimes even in broad daylight. His art is that of great irony and displays a most comedic scene. He goes by the name of Banksy and has been very successful at keeping his identity a secret, a most Oz-ian thing to do. This art happens to be on the Palestine Wall, the most secure boarder in the East. It is riddled with landmines, security cams, and armed guards on 24/7 watch. How in the hell....?
