i’m jealous of jason decaires taylor
Can you imagine coming across either of these underwater installations while out for a swim?! I know. Insanely beautiful, kinda spooky, and environmentally friendly all in one shot. I am totally mesmerized by these life-size concrete sculptures by Cancun based artist Jason deCaires Taylor… oh sure, they may have started out as statues, but given a little time, and some amazing sea creatures, they have literally come to life. Stunning.
{Thanks to Briony Evans, Creative Director at the Honfleur Gallery, for sending this work my way.}
All I can really say is WOW, it kind of reminds me of the Terracotta Warriors but with a whole new surreal twist to it.
I love the angle of the third shot down, it almost looks like it was taken in regular daylight until you see the ripples of the water above.
Awesome share 😉

yes! so cool / surreal. wouldn’t it be amazing to see these in person… although i have to admit, i think i’d be a little scared.
This is so cool
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this.

He’s one of the very first artists I ever wrote about. His sculptures are absolutely stunning. It’s nice to see some of his newer work.
Holy wowness! I agree w/Stuart.
Coming across that would give me nightmares for life! the idea (and the execution!) are absolutely amazing, but they are still super creepy.
i know… if you didn’t know they were there when you set out on your snorkeling trip, they would be absolutely terrifying! so ghostly, but insanely beautiful none the less.
My husband and I were on a snorkeling trip in Grenada and we came across them. It was a bit scary, but fascinating at the same time.
wow – so cool that you got to see them up close and personal! thanks kirsty xo
