A memorial statue of Steve Jobs has been chosen from more than 10,000 entries to honor the late Apple founder in front of the tech giant's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif.

A miniature version of the structure, which will be up to 16 feet tall in reality, was symbolically showcased on Monday in Belgrade, Serbia on what would have been Jobs' 59th birthday. However, it was immediately faced with criticism from Apple fans, with some describing it as "the stuff nightmares are made of."

Crafted by Serbian sculptor Dragan Radenovic, the statue is comprised of the iPhone creator's head on a panel made out of steel. The panel has the Latin letter "A," the last letter of the Serbian alphabet, which resembles an "E," and the Cryllic letter "III" at the bottom that is similar to a "W." The other featured characters are "0" and "1," representing the binary numerical system.

All the sketches of the proposed artwork were initially sent to the international art competition. The Apple executives were impressed and interested in the Serbian artist's piece because of "the imperfections of Radenovic's work," compared to other designs, which were too computer-centric.

Dragan Radenovic claimed the statue is somewhat of a "magnet" for the numbers and letters, perhaps representing the way the technological genius was able to talk people around to his way of thinking and attract with his ideas and creativity. He also said he wanted to represent some "recognizable motifs" from his homeland.
