Recently on view as part of Sculpture by the Sea in Bondi, this unusual figurative sculpture by artist Alessandra Rossi seems to have captured the imagination of many, becoming one of the most popular pieces of this year’s exhibition. Titled Untitled (coral), Rossi says the piece is inspired in part by the phenomenon of coral bleaching, something that occurs in nature when ocean water becomes too warm and coral begins to expel an algae giving it a white appearance. The sculpture’s layered appearance changes dramatically when viewed from different angles during the day and at times it almost vanishes against the horizon of Bondi beach. You can see more sculptures from Sculpture by the Sea 2016 here.
