This is the sculpture "Southwest Pieta" by Luis Jimenez. It was created in 1987 and placed in the Albuquerque Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In 1999 it was declared a national treasure by President Clinton. There is great detail in the bodies and because he is of Mexican descent there are elements of hispanic culture such as a eagle, cactus, and corn.

I think this artwork stands out and is more different than others because it focus so much on the culture of the piece.
