Also not shopped, but too horrible not to share
This is in Palo Alto, California. It's a 6-foot-tall bronze statue which depicts a running rag doll. The doll's face is a shapeless blob with two enormous but unseeing eyes, no nose and no mouth. The doll's torso has been horribly distended by what I assume is the face of the child whose soul has been imprisoned within the doll's lifeless, but now unnaturally animated, cotton body. The face of the entombed child straining to burst out of its patchwork prison is gigantic, which only adds to the horrificness of the piece.
