The [most-liked image](http://time.com/4657555/beyonce-pregnant-photo-instagram/?iid=sr-link1) on Instagram has been immortalized as larger-than-life graffiti on a wall in Melbourne. Lushsux—who [considers himself a “meme artist”](https://hypebeast.com/2016/8/lushsux-interview)—replicated everything from the floral background to the draping of Queen Bey’s sheer veil in the five-story-tall work. (Of course, as with any public art work, it’s unclear how long it will remain untouched without becoming defaced.) The original Beyoncé image, [photographed by artist Awol Erizku](http://time.com/4657982/beyonce-pregnant-2017-photo-analysis/?iid=sr-link2), rocketed [to fame on last week](https://www.instagram.com/p/BP-rXUGBPJa/?taken-by=beyonce) when Beyoncé used it to announce her pregnancy with twins. Lushsux, meanwhile, is known for viral-baiting provocative outdoor works that can be risqué or inappropriate. This Beyoncé re-production, however, chooses to eschew humor or bawdy digs. It’s pretty much a pixel-by-pixel homage to the _Lemonade_ singer, in fact. Already, Beyoncé idolizers are heading to the mural to take their own pregnancy photos in the shadow of pop culture’s official voice for motherhood. > [](https://twitter.com/lushsux/status/830541091250204672) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4669611/beyonce-mural-lushsux/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4669611/beyonce-mural-lushsux/"},"headline":"Here's Beyoncé's Pregnancy Photo Immortalized As a Gigantic Mural","datePublished":"2017-02-13T22:31:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:41:03.810Z","description":"Bow down.","url":"https://time.com/4669611/beyonce-mural-lushsux/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Art"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4669611/beyonce-mural-lushsux/","name":"Here's Beyoncé's Pregnancy Photo Immortalized As a Gigantic Mural"}}]}] ```
