Meet Jason de Caires Taylor. He creates life-sized cement sculptures of people in various poses and then sinks them into the waters of South America, where they become part of the ecology, serving as bases for coral reefs and all the marine life that comes along with them. The images are staggering, especially those that show changes over time. Check out his galleries. It’s the kind of thing that makes me want to learn to scuba dive so I can see them in person.
