Girl at the Outhouse by Won Lee, Bronze, 97cm high. Signed, dated 2004, Numbered 3 of 8 in a limited edition

Girl at the Outhouse by Won Lee is a striking and intimate figurative bronze sculpture, this contemporary artwork captures a moment rarely depicted in fine art with such grace and naturalism.

Crafted in bronze with a rich, variegated patina, the sculpture portrays a crouching woman, mid act, relieving herself outdoors. The pose is deeply human, vulnerable, and authentic, yet Lee handles the subject with sensitivity, dignity, and restraint. The figure’s form is carefully modelled, her weight balanced naturally over her feet, her body language private yet unapologetic.

Rather than shock, the sculpture invites empathy and reflection. It challenges viewers to confront themes of privacy, bodily autonomy, and the quiet rituals of daily life. The textured surface and tonal depth of the patina enhance the naturalistic feel, while the subject’s humble setting contrasts with the traditional grandeur often associated with bronze.

Placing the female form in such an unguarded state, Lee subverts expectations of figurative sculpture. At the same time, Girl at the Outhouse offers a tender, grounded moment, unfiltered and quietly powerful. It belongs in a garden or natural space where its honesty can be appreciated in full.
