LAS VEGAS — A 43-foot nude statue of former president Donald Trump towered over Interstate 15 on the way to Utah Saturday. The artist of "Crooked and Obscene" said the statue serves as a commentary on the transparency— or lack thereof— in politics, challenging viewers to think critically about political influence.

According to the artist, the title reflects the "controversial aspects attributed to both the figure represented and the nature of the installation itself."

The nude statue is made from foam— weighing approximately 6,000 pounds. The artist's goal with the statue is to provoke thought and open conversation about the "complexities of political power and leadership." The Nevada Republican Party put out a statement regarding the statue— calling it a "political theater."

The statue made its appearance in the valley the same weekend Kamala Harris was in town at the World Market Center.
