Figures are seen in underwater sculpture installation “The Silent Evolution” by British artist Jason de Caires Taylor between Cancun and Isla Mujeres December 11, 2010. Taylor used 'life casts' made from materials that encourage coral growth to build the installation on the sea bed off the coast of Cancun. The installation will form a new home for a variety of aquatic creatures at the Cancun and Isla Mujeres National Marine Park and is designed to reduce the impact over half a million tourists have on the area's natural reefs every year, the artist said.
