Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy has been forever immortalized in a life-size statue now on display in a Los Angeles art gallery unveiled Wednesday.
Created by artist Daniel Edwards', the name of the sculpture is “L.A. Fertility” and it’s an ode to her pregnancy, despite the heavy media criticism she’s received as a result of her weight gain. It’s unclear whether Kim Kardashian approves or not of the nude statue as the usually social media-loving star has been quite on the art piece.
“I was inspired by the beauty of Kim Kardashian and felt quite put-off by the media’s criticism of her weight gain during pregnancy,” Edwards said in a statement. “Such criticism should be off limits.”
The artist did not stop there, he also made a bronze statue of Kardashian and Kanye West‘s baby in utero with a “swirl design pattern” shaved in the baby’s hair. Keeping with the theme of fertility and babies, Edwards also unveiled a bronze of Kate Middleton and Prince William’s royal baby, “slumbering peacefully in the crown Queen Elizabeth wore as a princess.”
Kardashian, 32, is no stranger to the lime light and has made a living off of it, however, she says that the paparazzi have been extremely ruthless since she fell pregnant this year.
The same day the life-size and rather unflattering sculpture of Kim Kardashian was unveiled, she also took to Twitter to lambast pesky photographers who stop at nothing to capture a shot of the reality T.V. star and her growing baby bump.
“I wouldn't let the paps get a pic of me today & they threatened my life & said if I continue to block shots then they will make my world dangerous to live in! How dare they threaten my life & my unborn child! This has gotten way out of control!” she tweeted.
Kardashian, known for her killer curves, has gained some weight as most pregnant women do. However, she has been often critiqued for her choice of maternity wear and footwear, which has even left her younger sister, Khloe Kardashian upset over the negative attention.
"I find it disturbing that society loves to critique a woman's shape no matter how beautiful or happy she may be within herself. I am a first hand victim to public attacking in regards to my body or appearance. That is low in and of it self. but I can not tolerate one more vicious attack on my sister," Khloe wrote on her blog.
