Plato spoke of the seaport of Atlantis that the Gods had destroyed when its inhabitants had become corrupt and greedy. Ancient mythology has met with modern day fantasy however, in a visionary project by Cayman artist Foots in the waters off Cayman Brac.
Every statue he sculpts is of a real person he know.
«-My subjects… Friends, family and people that I have encountered throughout my life. »
The project has also enabled some environmental improvements:
«The
stone with which I sculpt is a very porous stone, enabling algae to grow and providing substanance for
our sea-life. We have «literally» seen the sea-life population in and around Atlantis Cayman Brac explode!»
In addition to being a magnet on divers from all over the world, the 16 acre underwater artwork is also a memorials / cemetary, where people can pay $2000 to have their ashes placed.
