The British sculptor Jason Taylor, food and cooking of 39 years, unveiled his latest collection for the Underwater Museum of art which he co-founded in 2009 off the coast of Cancun, Mexico. New parts include busts of people in hostels cement between algae on the seabed.

Made of marine cement black with neutral pH, most pieces are increased for stainless steel â€" these thorns, with the long, bright yellow color coral where able to simulate the presence of flames.

"I try to use the work to highlight the enormous losses that we are having and how our blue planet is changing dramatically," explains Taylor food and cooking. "Future generations will see the same number of species and plentiful reefs ancestors."

One of the sculptures, entitled No Turning Back, alludes to the loss of coral reefs of the Caribbean. Another of the sculptures is an angelic figure, named Resurrection, which uses a purple coral rescued after being displaced from your reef system and damaged during a recent storm.

Food and cooking Taylor now has 510 sculptures on permanent display at the bottom of the sea, although these are their latest additions to the Museum, since the artist is preparing to return to Europe. "I'm going to leave Mexico, but I have this legacy that will allow my daughter come back in 20 years and you're still here," he said.

The underwater Museum has proved a huge success â€" receives 250 000 visitors each year. Food and cooking Taylor is trying to secure funding to allow it eventually to include 8,000 figures.
