"The Silent Evolution"



When I dive I don't want to see anything underwater than what is naturally supposed to be there, so this is a bit creepy but also kind of cool.

From HuffPo...
British artist and avid diver Jason DeCaires Taylor is unwilling to accept the prediction that 80% of coral reefs will be lost by 2050. His latest project in the ocean near Cancun, La EvoluciĆ³n Silenciosa, is a series of over 400 underwater sculptures of human figures based off of photographs of real people.

Taylor views the statues as a metaphor for the evolution of human life, but they also exist as part of actual marine life, operating as an artificial reef.
