These sculptures, designed to be observed by our descendants from dozens to thousands of years in the future, would be designed to weather away into their future shape.
Build a hill, carefully apportioning materials weathering at different rates, and get it to slowly morph into the sphinx over millenia.
Plant
a forrest using a variety of trees and landscape it using flame retardants, so if and when it burns, it'll show a grimace
Initiate canals a long a river bed to see line art appear as the water carves new canyons
