A NEDLANDS sculpture unveiled last week aims to highlight the cultural connection between WA and France.
The artwork designed by French-Australian artist Monia Allegre has been positioned in the front garden of the Alliance Francaise de Perth in Nedlands.
The sculpture is a visual symbol evoking friendship between Australia and France, and continued goals of fostering links.
Ms Allegre said the sculpture highlighted three intertwining symbols; the Marianne, a national symbol of the French republic; a grevillea flower, and a red ribbon world map.

“The project was quite an experience for me and done for the love of art, but I want to thank Alliance Francaise for trusting me and Living Iron for doing the fabrication.”
The sculpture is on display at Alliance Francaise at 75 Broadway, Nedlands.
