Is designing a large advertising image that includes a stone statue in the form of a human, based on the manager's insistence, considered a sin that affects one's faith? And what should the designer do about it?

Photographing them and hanging them up constitutes an affirmation and propagation of a reprehensible act, and is therefore impermissible. If you are unable to remove the picture, you are not obligated to do so; your repentance and remorse for what has passed are sufficient for you.
