We’ve written about the underwater sculptures of Jason deCaires Taylor before, but this is his most awesome project yet. In La Evolución Silenciosa (silent evolution), he created 400 lifelike human sculptures to become an artificial coral reef.

The sculptures are designed using materials that will attract sea creatures and eventually become a coral reef. You can see more pictures on Taylor’s website. Or watch this amazing movie of the sculptures surrounded by fish in the ocean.
