They are not free standing so I wouldn’t consider them to be statues.

Because statues are free standing and Mt Rushmore ain’t.

The faces are carved out of the stone.

Hope this helps 🙂

Because they are just faces. Those are called busts. Statues include the whole form of a person.

Because they are incomplete in that they’re only 2D not 3D where one would be able to walk around and see the back of them.
