It's hard to imagine this beautiful, serene, and even dark installation just off the shores of the never asleep party city. The brainchild of British born Mexico-based sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, this underwater exhibit will eventually cover over 4,520 square feet under the crystal blue waters.
Each sculpture is cast from the body mold of a local resident and there are now over 400 sculptures in the park.
Taylor hopes that not only will the park be a unique attraction for visitors but it will provide an alternative to visiting the coral reefs, which are already threatened by pollution, overfishing, and human negligence in general.
