[A]t an impressive 180 feet in height, with a 23-foot nose and 14-foot eyes to match, the monument to Decebalus, the king of the Dacians, is visible from a great distance. (By comparison, the presidential faces depicted on Mount Rushmore reach a mere 60 feet in height.)
I mean, sure, say it's taller than Rushmore, but c'mon, it's not like Rushmore looks like this:

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.
