I was completely surprised to see an image of this small statue posted by nedlugr. I had seen it many years ago in the very obscure Imusdale cemetery near Parkfield, CA. See Rick's image below.

This sculpture was created by Montreal Artist, Randall Anderson. It was commissioned in 2006 and stood outside the Fine Arts and Engineering Building in Montreal until 2010. Last summer it stood in Ottawa near the Alexandria Bridge, overlooking Parliament Hill.
"A lot of my work deals with ideas of movement and encounters with information, " Anderson says. In Zoom! this idea is shown by paper shapes colliding with a form making that body disappear.
Anderson thinks the nation's capital is a perfect place for this sculpture! I think there is so much bureaucracy that people tend to fade into importance at times.
This statue is on the other side of the archway from the Sam Houston statue in the Capitol building in Austin, Texas. Stephen Austin is considered the "father of Texas", having led the first 300 American settlers in, and been instrumental in getting more to come. The city of Austin is named for him, although it did not exist at the time of his death in 1836.

The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City.
The copper statue, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, a French sculptor, was built by Gustave Eiffel and dedicated on October 28, 1886. It was a gift to the United States from the people of France.
Sculptural group, bronze, the side-shape material is limestone, the figures are twice life size. The work was produced on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Lajos Kossuth's birth.
The Gal Vihara, also known as Gal Viharaya and originally as the Uttararama, is a rock temple of the Buddha situated in the ancient city of Polonnaruwa in North Central Province, Sri Lanka. It was fashioned in the 12th century by Parakramabahu I. The central feature of the temple is four rock relief statues of the Buddha, which have been carved into the face of a large granite rock. The images consist of a large seated figure, another smaller seated figure inside an artificial cavern, a standing figure and a reclining figure. These are considered to be some of the best examples of ancient Sinhalese sculpting and carving arts, and have made the Gal Vihara the most visited monument at Polonnaruwa.
The images of Uttararama follow a different style from the images of the previous Anuradhapura period, and show some significant differences. The identity of the standing image is subject to a certain amount of dispute among historians and archaeologists, some of whom argue that it depicts the monk Ananda rather than the Buddha. Each of the images have been carved in a way that uses a maximum possible area of the rock, and their heights seem to have been decided based on the height of the rock itself. Each statue appears to have had its own image house, as indicated by the remains of brick walls at the site. The Uttararama was where Parakramabahu I held a congregation of monks to purify the Buddhist priesthood, and later drew up a code of conduct for them. This code of conduct has been recorded in an inscription on the same rock face containing the images of the Buddha.
