This lesson explores the intersection of art, nature, and conservation through the work of sculptor Jason de Caires Taylor. For Taylor, the ocean is not just a muse—it is an exhibition space and a living museum. In this talk, Taylor shares how his underwater art not only beautifies the ocean but also fosters biodiversity by becoming habitats for corals, crustaceans, and other sea creatures. Key topics include:
The concept of underwater art and its role in environmental conservation
How sculptures are transformed into habitats for marine life
The creation and impact of the world’s first underwater sculpture park and MUSA
This lesson is based on the TED Talk, An Underwater Art Museum Teeming with Life by Jason de Caires Taylor.
