Echo

Echo is a monumental sculpture located in the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, WA. Created by renowned artist Jaume Plensa, the sculpture depicts the mythical figure of Echo, who was punished by the goddess Hera and could only repeat the last words spoken by others. With her eyes closed, Echo appears to be in a state of meditation, overlooking Puget Sound and Mount Olympus.

Seattle Art Museum proudly showcases Echo as part of its collection, honoring the Coast Salish people and their traditional territories. The sculpture is a captivating example of Plensa's psychologically engaging public art, inviting visitors to contemplate the power of communication and the enduring presence of mythology in our lives.
