He is mimicking Sankai Juku perhaps?!  I like your framing, Aguinaldo.  :)

Thank you Akira.
It is made of something like wax. Maybe a resin.

It is a controversial *painted bronze statue* called "Sleepwalker". More history here:

That's a great shot Aguinaldo.Very effective framing.

Even more impressive now that I know it's made of metal.
It's so realistic that I thought it was made of some sort of resin, easier to carve or mold.
