The answer
Description
Characters from 'The Wizard of Oz' including the tin man and lion. The figures are walking along a road with a signpost pointing to 'The Wizard' and another signpost with a single question mark, while the words 'The Answer' appear below. A helicopter flies and bombs drop above, while a bottle of alcohol is also in the sky. The work comments on the myriad of both psychological and physical problems encountered by Vietnam Veterans after they returned home from battle.
