This is a bronze sculpture by French artist Alain Godon, most likely titled "Facelift." It depicts the head of the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of freedom and democracy, but instead of showing the statue as a completed monument, the artwork portrays the head in the process of being built or renovated.

Surrounding the statue's head is a scaffolding structure, with ladders and beams intricately placed around the statue, as if workers were in the midst of constructing or repairing it. The detailed scaffolding creates a sense of both fragility and transformation, offering a unique perspective on an iconic symbol.

Alain Godon is known for his playful approach to famous landmarks, often blending reality with imagination. This work reflects that tendency by combining an image of something monumental with the ordinary, everyday aspects of construction, hinting at themes of progress, renewal, and reinvention. The bronze medium, with its weathered patina, further connects the sculpture to the enduring and historic nature of monuments like the Statue of Liberty.
