@Disturbed12 It's called Dreamers Awake by American sculptor Tom Otterness.
Dreamers Awake offers a tableau of two giant figures whose broken and fragmented bodies are overcome - like pharonic ruins by grave robbers - by a swarm of chubby little cartoon characters. One of the giant figures, a female, stands approximately fifteen feet tall and is missing one arm. Her companion, a male figure, lies at her feet in eight pieces (head, hands, feet, heart, leg fragment, and footprint), the sum of which, mysteriously enough, does not add up to a complete body.
The composition evokes a cinematic scene of the discovery of two dilapidated human colossi from some lost civilization as a lively group of seven half-human, half-Pillsbury Doughboy Lilliputians explore the heroic remains. One peers into the male giant's ear. Another points to the giant like a tourist showing off to his friends. Then, wasting no time on romantic nostalgia, the little creatures greedily commandeer some archaeological loot and cart off a large bronze footprint made by the giant.
