I took the above photo at the Met in New York. What did you think when you saw the image initially? You can read about the detailed meaning of the statue, but the short explanation is that it’s a Native American girl who stumbles upon a cross. Before 2010 the pose wouldn’t trigger any strong connotations associated with popular culture, but today it does.
