These underwater sculptures are hypnotically awesome. They are the works of a guy called Jason deCaires Taylor.
From his bio:
"Taylor’s art is like no other, a paradox of creation, constructed to be assimilated by the ocean and transformed from inert objects into living breathing coral reefs, portraying human intervention as both positive and life-encouraging."

I love the fact that he is drawing attention to the fragility of the coral reef ecosystem. But the thing I dig the most is that every sculpture is constantly changing and eroding and gaining a whole new character as the sea reclaims them with an art of its own.
