Jason Decaires is an English sculptor specializing in the creation of artificial underwater coral reefs. His work stems from a conservationist stand point. Decaires strives to make art that is not only harmless to its environment, but promotes life where it is installed. He works with a special cement with a very low pH level to attract corals. These pieces above are installed in various areas off the coast of Mexico, and Cancun. Ranging from 4 meters depth to 9 meters depth. All sculptures are life sized and carefully planned and placed to be most effective at attracting life. Over time these underwater worlds created by Decaires begin gathering small corals. Colors and textures constantly changing with the passing of time.
