The image shows a sculpture of a crucifixion scene with the figure of Christ on the cross. The sculpture is painted with naturalistic colors, including skin tones for the body, a dark cloth around the waist, and red accents near the hands and feet. The cross is dark brown or black in color. The sculpture is displayed in a public setting with wooden panels in front of it bearing messages in pink lettering. The crucifix is positioned slightly to the side of what appears to be a large red container, possibly a dumpster. The scene is located next to a roadway with orange traffic cones and a railing in the background.
