Description / Interpretation:
Artists Elizabeth Garrison and Victor Henderson. The story of Wizard of Oz becomes a metaphor for homelessness in Hollywood, because in the story Dorothy is trying to find her way home. Hollywood Blvd. becomes the Yellow Brick Road, but instead of movies star names inside the stars, the services offered by the Youth Network are given. Embodied in the silhouette of the wicked witch are other silhouettes showing needles, AIDS-the dangers of the streets. Sponsored and commissioned by SPARC. Photo: © Robin Dunitz
