Ocean Atlas — Statue of a girl on the Ocean Floor, The sight of this sculpture, which last week placed at the bottom of New Providence Island in the Bahamas, is truly impressive.
The height of 5.5 meters and weighing 50 tonnes sculpture is the largest underwater artwork ever installed below the bottom of the sea and called "Ocean Atlas".
The artist behind the inspiration and creation, is Jason deCaires Taylor, known from other similar installations underwater sculptures. The project is a modern translation of the Atlas of Greek mythology, who is represented here in the form of a local girl from the exotic archipelago. The position of the celestial sphere occupied by the sea, the sculpture has been installed at a location that makes it look that supports the weight of the water.
The message of the installation is ecological and wants to awaken the destruction of marine life, showing how the future of the oceans is in the hands of the new generation. The installation in the water was a technically complicated case. The sections were immersed in the sculpture where it was set and then the team that worked on the project assembled.
