Stan the Submerging Man - Replaced by a Pyramid

Stan the Submerging Man is gone. However there is a pyramid in its place.

Interesting that both sculptures have old compact disks as part of their "skin." Unless Stan is a Transformer, it appears he's been replaced by a different piece of temporary public art.

Stan the Submerging Man: Colorful Giant Made of Junk

Stan the Submerging Man is an 18-foot-tall sculpture made of recycled materials by artist Finley Fryer. It is lit at night by LEDs. It's part of a big Art Walk they have in Davis, but this is the Walk's biggest and most impressive work of art.
