Total Immersion

The work of sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor can only be seen with the right scuba equipment. Placed in the sea bottom, his sculptures of a ring of people, heads emerging from a coral reef and a writer who desperately tries to reach his coral-encrusted typewriter emerge eerily from the blue-black haze, and captivate their viewers.

Taylor also manufactures the statues from porous, "eco-friendly" materials, so that corals, barnacles and other assorted sea life take root on them as time wears on, making the whole experience even more appealing.
