Pictures taken on Friday show what conceptual artist Ales 'Maxi' Zupevc claims is the first ever monument of Melania Trump, set in the fields near town of Sevnica, U.S. First Lady’s hometown in southeastern Slovenia. /VCG Photo

Carved from tree with a chainsaw, the life-sized statue depicts the First Lady on Inauguration Day in 2017, wearing a blue outfit designed by Ralph Lauren and waving at crowds. /VCG Photo

AFP reports that Berlin-based American artist Brad Downey came up with the idea as part of a project that explores Melania Trump’s roots and the statue will be the subject of a documentary and exhibition he is working on. /VCG Photo

Downey wrote in his Instagram account that he chose to work with local artist Zupevc because he was born in the same year and the same hospital as Melania herself. /VCG Photo
