An underwater gallery? Yup, it exists and continues fascinating its audience.
A project founded by artists, Jason deCaires and 2 other organizations, had created over 500 permanent life-sized human sculptures and set it underwater in an underwater museum called MUSA, formed in the waters of Cancun.
This project was very ambitious, attracting vast amount of visitors.
What the artist intended to portray, was the interaction between art and the environmental science.
Each of the sculptures has specialized materials to promote coral life and attract algaes to enhance the sculptures.
In my opinion, this installment is very creative and fascinating. Its rather uncommon to view galleries underwater. So, Jason deCaires's experiment with a whole new setting is very clever.
Moreover, the algaes that has attached itselves to the sculptures give the art a more ancient and imaginative feel.
All in all, Jason deCaires really created a masterpiece.
