Auto-hawk in Albuquerque (8 photos)
The beauty of art is that each author (within reason, of course) can present his or her vision of a particular subject, object or phenomenon to the world. 
This work is quite specific, but it also has the right to exist. 
A flying hawk sculpture made from colorful car doors has become quite a popular attraction in Albuquerque. 
This huge, eye-catching sculpture uses battered, dented, and rusted car doors as the feathers of a mighty hawk. This striking and strange piece is the artist's tribute to the city. 
The 25-foot-tall sculpture is made up of 30 colorful car doors stacked on top of each other. The unusual piece of art was installed in 2017 and was created by former Albuquerque resident Christopher Fennell, who now lives in Alabama. 
Fennell created the piece as a representation of what Albuquerque meant to him. He loved to walk in the Sandia Mountains and watch the birds flying up and down the mountain. The sculpture is located next to a bus station and parking lot, so the car theme is also clearly visible.

The city of Albuquerque commissioned this piece for $75,000. There is no plaque or information about its creator at the site. The sculpture is located behind trees (perhaps this is the idea - to not immediately understand the idea of a strange bird taking off). Weird? Yes. But given the diversity of contemporary art objects, the auto-hawk is not the worst example.
