Because of the 'What is it?' contest, I've provided you already as entry an image of this sculpture. Here's another one. It belongs to a series of photographs that were taken by me on the occasion of a contemporary art festival held in 2017 (July, 14th till November, 5th) in Middelburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands. The festival was called 'Facade'.

If you check-out this link you'll see a map. The depicted contemporary artwork is # 02 (the upper #2) of this map.

Further details (provided by the festival-organization):

At the Balans, the Belgian artist Nadia Naveau (Bruges, 1975) has installed two statues. On one (the depicted one) of the stone pillars in front of the CBK Zeeland building, stands a human figure, playfully spiraling into space. The cat on its head gives it an absurd twist. The niche at the Balanspoort (the lower #2 will be shown in the future), in which there must once have been a statue, has now been transformed into a baroque statue. She is an artist playing a baroque game with illusion, using forms she meets as she goes along. She kneads the clay, works with plaster of Paris and plasticine, casts her figures in bronze, rubber or polyester. Ceramic is also an important medium for her. Each figure gets the material it calls for, as long as there's movement and color in it.
