Jason deCaires Taylor

Jason deCaires Taylor does awesome underwater sculptures! He makes artificial reefs. His latest installation, Silent Evolution, is really beautiful. An excerpt from inhabitat.com describes it best: "In all its beauty there’s something a bit eerie about The Silent Evolution. Is it the closed eyes, the surrounding blue hue of the sea, or perhaps the emotions the lifeless sculptures still seem to express? There’s a strong feeling of hope in the work, even though the physical structure of the sculptures look as though the people have been tied together. Taylor’s message can be read in many different ways and voices, but what he does succinctly is to remind us of our close relation to – and not to mention dependency on – nature."

I love the unique nature of his work. You don't often see people working underwater, and at such a scale! It's really beautiful.
