Project 365 #102: weird wachovia statues

Here's yesterday's photo, taken at dusk at the mysterious Wachovia drive in apparent public art piece on Coxe Avenue. This thing has always fascinated me and I wonder about those strange carved figures, which are oh so WNC and yet. . . not. What are they? Why don't they have some kind of explanation or a text panel? Are they bad customers who got horribly transformed?

I have always suspected that actually, there's a secret passageway underneath it or in the middle of it and Wachovia actually has an entire really cool secret lair under that parking lot. The teller I used to refer to as The Miracle of Modern Makeup, who used to work at the Patton Ave. Wachovia, now works at the drive thru, where I fear her incredible grasp of makeup - lots of makeup, hoo boy - and her unflinchingly coordinated accessories - navy blue polka dot cardigan? Make sure you have the navy polka dot giant hair bow, navy polka dot bracelet, and the navy polka dot scarf too! - go unnoticed.
