I have a lot of pictures, okay? XD
These are from last Sunday, on Father's Day.
All of the ones I'll display in this post are by Seward Johnson. The ones in the future parts I'll post are by different artists/sculptors, but I forgot their names.
His sculptures look so realistic when you see them in person. So many times when I was there and a distance away from the sculptures, I thought they were actual people. XD
Just.. damn, that's some good art right there. Beautiful. Lovely. Hhhhhhhhhhhhngfgh....

Oh right, let me explain a few things.
The gray-ish one with the man sitting on a bench with his briefcase is related to the tragedy on 9/11. So to summarize it, this sculpture was in New York City somewhere near the World Trade Center when the terrorist attacks on 9/11 occurred. Later on, rescuers, thinking the sculpture was an actual person, were amazed that he survived and wanted to rescue him out of the turmoil. But, of course, they figured out it was just a sculpture that looks freakishly realistic. So they remade it in the place I went to on Sunday as well as created art that looked like the devastated scenery after 9/11. Well, that's what it basically said on its description thing.
Another thing I found really cool was the one with the security guards standing on either side of what looks like to be a mirror. When you walk towards it and from a distance, it looks just like a mirror. But when you stand in front of it, a painting of Mona Lisa appears. It turns out there was a mini Mona Lisa exhibit behind the "mirror", and if you stand in front of the "mirror" on that side, then you'll appear as if you're in the Mona Lisa painting. It was fun confusing people lol. But yes, it's not a square hole in the wall, there is glass there.
One of the people sculptures is of Marilyn Monroe.
So yeah, onto the pictures now! ^.^
This is interesting... They look too happy to be mistaken for a terrorist victim...
