Aloha tiki Tribe,
I am coming out of my shock now.
Starting to think. Ask "Why?"
( sorry, I just could not look at that very creepy photo any longer - So I took it off )
"Ozymandias"

I had a friend, Author and intellectual, do a little research.

Ozymandias, It's a sonnet written by the English romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.
"Look on my works ye mighty, and despair." ...But the poem goes on to show that all is just dust in the wind.

This interpretation seems the most meaningful, as the PIZZ was a talented famous artist: Woody Allen's films Stardust Memories (1980) and To Rome with Love (2012) use the term "Ozymandias Melancholia", which Allen defines as "the realisation that your works of art will not save you and will mean nothing down the line".

Ok, this it might fit. But, something still doesn't seem right. Did the PIZZ really end it all just because he was afraid his work would not be remembered?
I find that a little hard to grasp in this "age of information" with the world - it's history - it's culture is always at your key board. And… this will only get more and more so as time goes on and technology keeps perfecting it's storage of everything in "the Cloud" ...some where…. forevermore.

A L O H A to everyone.
