It's King Lear. I just looked it up, and that one is by Seward Johnson too. Does not skirt the kitsch line like a lot of his other works do.

Маска скорби "Mask of Sorrow" - a memorial in Magadan, dedicated to the memory of victims of political repression. The central monument is 15 meters high
Authors: sculptor - Ernst Neizvestny , architect - Kamil Kazayev.
The central sculpture of the memorial is a person's stylized face, from whose left eye tears flow in the form of small masks. The right eye is represented in the form of a window with a lattice. On the reverse side is a bronze sculpture of a weeping woman under a non-canonical crucifixion [1] . Inside the monument is a copy of a typical prison cell.

Dignity is a sculpture on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River near Chamberlain, South Dakota. The 50-foot high stainless steel statue, by South Dakota artist laureate Dale Lamphere, depicts an Indigenous woman in Plains-style dress receiving a star quilt. According to Lamphere, the sculpture honors the culture of the Lakota and Dakota peoples who are indigenous to South Dakota.

Prepare to be perplexed by the "spomenik," dozens of Brutalist/alien WWII monuments built from the '60s to the '80s all over Yugoslavia.

Also, did anyone else on here get a little bit of a Dr. Doom vibe from the Dignity statue?
