This is not a statue, but simply an old dead tree by the lake in St.James's Park. I think it's beautifully sculptural, however, so it's getting posted on a Sat Stat day.
What do you think?
Actually, I think it does, too, Speedway. There's definitely an element of interpretative dance in there somewhere. As for the hole and any erotic element, I'm not going anywhere near that!
Metaphorically speaking, we all have holes in our questions...and elsewhere. If there's something missing in the question, there's probably going to be something missing in the answer.
Also, the question mark looks pregnant. Hole? Question about paternity?
That's a tree trunk? I see a partial human form holding another partial human form above its shoulders... or something like that emerging from the water. xoxoxox
(I've hit a few watering holes of my own today, sugar.)
Eat your heart out, Doktor Rorschach; reading dead trees has far more erotic possibilites than any ink blots.
Savannah, it reminded me of one of Bacon's "Three Figures for the Base of a Crucifixion", a kind of bend-in-the-middle monster, but now I can see two figures in there, too. Enjoy your watering! xoxoxox
Petrea, word of the day is now officially "ballerino". I love the way language evolves.
Vanda, you're right: as a kind of post, it naturally adds another "post" to post-modern.

It looks like a question mark. Or a weird dead moose.
Ooooh, I'm going to enjoy psychoanalysing my friends by their responses to the photo. Hee hee.
It looks like Isadora Duncan trying to escape the tree in order to dance naked by the lake.
Analyze that! :-D

Atually, I did see what I thought were a pair of knees, carelessly spread apart, but I'm not going anywhere near that - or the hole.
This is why I love the comments box.

This is better than inkblots, Dive!

Ballet! Armless ballerina held aloft by armless male ballerino, or whatever you call them.
I like it. It's very post-post-modern.

that's a truly wonderful gnarl. Looks like something out of Tolkien.
I've added ballerino to my dictionary :-)
Very Tolkien, Ms.M … perhaps a troll ballerino.
