The Green Bottle (art installation)

The Green Bottle is an art installation created by artist Jason deCaires Taylor, featuring a life-sized, submerged sculpture of a human figure holding a green glass bottle. Installed underwater in a natural setting, it explores themes of environmental impact, pollution, and human connection to nature. The sculpture’s green bottle symbolizes ocean waste and highlights the importance of marine conservation. Over time, the sculpture becomes an artificial reef, promoting marine life while prompting viewers to reflect on human responsibility for pollution and the delicate balance of aquatic ecosystems. It merges art with environmental awareness, encouraging dialogue about sustainability.
