Eerie Human Figures Haunt Grenada's Underwater Park

 

In the clear waters of the Caribbean, near the island of Grenada, lies the world's first underwater sculpture park, which began as a foundation for the growth of coral formations and eventually turned into a nightmarish underworld.

 

 

Over the years, different artists have contributed a wide assortment of statues and other large installations to the park, including several life-size human figures by sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor – such as the “Circle of Children” series.

 

 

While the lifelike figures have an eerie, ghostly quality when first installed, they start to take on more grotesque, tortured shapes as coral deposits slowly obscure their features.
