Little Boy Lost

Little Boy Lost is a contemporary sculpture at Tamarama Beach depicting a child-sized figure carved from silicone rubber and fiberglass. The work stands directly on the sand, integrated into the coastal environment.

Paul Trefry created the sculpture for the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition at Tamarama Beach in 2009. It remains as part of the permanent outdoor art collection at this location.

The sculpture explores childhood through its form and connects with visitors through its human scale in the open beach setting. People stop to observe and reflect on what the figure represents in their own experience.

The sculpture is accessible via walking paths that connect to Tamarama Beach and surrounding coastal trails. Nearby you will find cafes, parking areas, and public facilities for your visit.

The sculpture faces constant exposure to salt water, sand, and coastal winds that gradually affect its materials and appearance over time. This natural weathering creates a changing experience for repeat visitors.
