underwater sculpture

Underwater sculpture refers to artworks created and submerged in underwater environments, typically in oceans or lakes. These sculptures are designed to be enjoyed by divers and marine life, serving both artistic and ecological purposes. Artists often use materials that promote coral growth and marine biodiversity, turning the sculptures into artificial reefs. Notable examples include Jason deCaires Taylor's installations, which attract sea creatures and enhance underwater ecosystems while also raising awareness about ocean conservation. This fusion of art and nature provides a unique experience, highlighting the beauty of underwater environments and the importance of preserving them.
