Pictures of the melted wax statue of former US President Abraham Lincoln have gone viral all over the internet. The wax statue, located in Washington, DC, melted as the temperature soared. The six-foot tall statue lost its head, followed by its legs, but its torso remained intact. Besides, the chair supporting the effigy also sank in the scorching heat. Lincoln’s wax statue was made by Richmond artist Sandy Williams IV and was installed on the campus of Garrison Elementary School in Northwest Washington in February. Sandy Williams referred to the incident and stated, “I previously had joked that when our climate gets bad enough to where we are living in an environment where the ambient heat melts these sculptures, that’s when this work becomes an environmental artwork. I didn’t know that was going to be this summer.”
