A giant head occupied a park in New York City for several months this summer. American artist Nicolas Holiber gathered wooden crates and other discarded materials to create the 4-foot-tall, 10-foot-long sculpture. Then he assembled and painted it, defining the features and giving it blue hair and a beard. 

Holiber titled the work Head of Goliath, referring to the Bible story of David and Goliath. In the story, David, a young shepherd boy, defeats Goliath, a giant warrior. For Holiber, the sculpture is symbolic. “People come to New York to be the underdog and beat whatever obstacle is in front of them,” the artist explains. “New York is the Goliath.”
