This underwater museum is an incredible example of art being used to make a difference! The best part though, for me, is that Jason deCaires Taylor creates these statutes after people in his own town. Imagine having a statue of yourself submerged in the ocean.
I enjoy the fact that he defies the ordinary to make a statement about our connection with the unknown world. “Foremost, it’s an opportunity to view this other world,” Mr. Taylor said. “We are surrounded by water, but people have no understanding what their planet is. It helps see ourselves as part of the world.”
I guess I should get on that SCUBA certification if I'm to visit the Museo Subacuático de Arte.
