לא, רק ריאליזם סוציאליסטי...

Word association: פסל sounds like pedestal, which you might put a sculpture on.

אֲנִי אוֹהֵב פְּסָלִים מְכוֹעָרִים. אֲנִי קוֹרֵא לָהֶם הֶלֶם תַּרְבּוּתִי. אַחַת מֵהֵם הָיָה לִפְנֵי מָעוֹן סְטוּדֶנְטִים בְּתַחֲנַת הַחַשְׁמַלִּית. בְּכָל בּוֹקֶר, כְּשֶׁחִיכִּיתִי לְחַשְׁמַלִּית, הָלַכְתִּי סָבִיב הַהֶלֶם הַתַּרְבּוּתִי הַזֶּה בַּמָּקוֹם לִשְׁתּוֹת קָפֶה. אֲנִי יָכוֹל לְהַמְלִיץ... : - )

Why does הפסל require a segol?

Because this word, with kamatz sign, can also refer to the scuplturer.

One should note that usually in adults texts people don't use Nikud at all, and it is up to the reader to guess bases on context, if it is "Pesel" (statue) or "Pasal" (sculptor). Here I guess it is done to make sure people don't misread it - after all, there were weirder sentences than "I hate this ugly sculptor" in dualingo...
