Underwater Sculpture – Jason deCaires Taylor

 

About a month ago, I was flipping through a magazine, and one photo caught my attention. It was such a fascinating photo and I read the article through immediately. I’d like to share this fascinating images with you.

It’s underwater sculpture and the artist name is Jason deCaires Taylor. His famous piece is ‘The Silent Evolution’ which is located in Cancun, Mexico with 400 life-size figures, 9m underwater . Here is the bio from his website.
