A team of artists erected the statue early Monday, but it has since been covered up, presumably by city officials.
A team of anonymous artists has erected a statue to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden at a NYC war memorial.
They then attached it to the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument, which pays tribute to Revolutionary War soldiers, Animal New York reported.
"Fort Greene's Prison Ship Martyrs Monument is a memorial to American POWs who lost their lives during the Revolutionary War," the artists told Animal New York. "We have updated this monument to highlight those who sacrifice their safety in the fight against modern-day tyrannies."
However, users on Instagram reported that someone, presumably city officials, have since gone to the park and covered up the statue with a tarp.
The artists said that the sculpture was designed by an artist on the West Coast.
The bust is made from a plaster-like substance commonly used in places like Las Vegas to create the look of Roman architecture, Animal New York reported.
The artists also used an adhesive that would hold the bust in place but would not damage the monument.
