The Awakening, USA
This statue, created by J. Seward Johnson, Jr., shows a giant struggling to free himself and emerge from the sands of a harbor in Maryland, USA. The face of the giant with the mouth open in a silent scream, as well as his flailing limbs, are visually dramatic, demonstrating the desperation that he must feel during his incredible struggle.
The sheer size of the giant is itself impressive: it is over 70 feet (21 meters) long and has a hand reaching 17 feet (5 meters) into the air.
