雕塑 (diāo sù) is the broad term for sculpture as an art form, covering both the noun (a sculpture) and the verb (to sculpt, including modeling or casting). In contrast, 雕像 specifically means a statue (usually of a person), while 雕 and 雕刻 focus on carving or engraving hard materials like wood or stone, with 雕刻 also used as a noun for the carved object or craft.
