The underwater sculptures in Cancun, Mexico by Jason deCaires Taylor

This is a series of sculptures by Jason DeCaires Taylor placed underwater off the coast of Isla de Mujeres and Cancún, Mexico. The project began in November 2009 with placement of 100 statues in shallow waters of the Cancún National Marine Park which had been previously damaged by storms.
Sculptures are created with PH-Neutral concrete and are based on members of the local community. The artist planned the sculptures are artificial reefs with fire coral planted in initial sculptures. A total of 400 sculptures is planned to be installed by the end of 2010.



This is a YouTube video of the first 3 sculptures installed.
