Find the white stone sculpture on the coastal side of Marine Parade at Salvado Street. Approach along the public foreshore path.
South Korean-born, WA-based sculptor Jina Lee trained in Traditional Korean Sculpture before completing a Master of Fine Arts in sculpture in Seoul. Stone remains central to her practice, using traditional chiselling and polishing techniques to turn marble and other stone into smooth, tactile organic forms.
Atom was one of Lee's early works after moving to Perth in 2013 and exhibiting around Western Australia. Roughly one metre high and one and a half metres wide, it appeared at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2015 and now forms part of Cottesloe's permanent public sculpture trail.
You’ll find it near Salvado Street and Marine Parade. Stay on the public path to view the sculpture in its private garden setting. Its carved openings frame fragments of sky and planting, changing as you move along the path.
