Sculpture 30, entitled 'Alien Arums', was created by the artists known as the 'Ghost Net Collective'.
The 'Alien Arums' are perched on the northern side of the headland at Marks Park - along the Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk.
Zoom in to see all of Bondi Beach in the late afternoon.
The artists say:
"Arum spikes emerge as alien invaders. Numerous species such as these 'Arums' are invading our coastline, establishing and thriving. 'Alien Arums' explores connections between embedded ghost-nets washed up on our shores, and the emergence of these reconstructed, growing, forms."
I am not sure what they are talking about, but interestingly, the sculpture is made from the ghost-nets that wash up on beaches. These ghost nets are attributed to the deaths of marine life all around the world.
SO, I think this sculpture is a statement about the dangers of ghost-nets, discarded by ships, in the ocean.
