These Underwater Sculptures Are Beautiful But Eerie AF
Conservationist Spencer Arnold sank a set of underwater sculptures called "Despair" near Ko Tao, Thailand, to draw attention to the island's threatened reef. Ko Tao attracts more than 400,000 tourists a year, and a sunken fishing boat had already destroyed a large patch of reef in the same bay. The sculptures' faces are modeled on project staff, and some parts were made from giant clam shells found discarded on the island. The works are part of a seven-year restoration effort by the New Heaven Reef Conservation Program, which Arnold hopes will encourage people to learn more and get involved.
