A giant wave of Barbie dolls has won the people's choice award at Sculpture by the Sea at Perth's Cottesloe Beach.
Perth-based Belgian artist Annette Thas will take home $2,500 in prize money for her work titled Wave 1, which alludes to childhood memories and environmental concerns.
The three metrewave is constructed from hundreds of recycled Barbies.
Not surprisingly, Wave 1 also took out the Kid's Choice prize along with Argentina's Alejandro Propato for his installation dedicated to Cottesloe sunsets.
The outdoor exhibition at Cottesloe, now in its tenth year and a companion event to Sydney's Sculpture by the Sea, featured 74 sculptures from local and international artists.
