The statues, symbolizing the continuity of life, are arranged in a circle, with couples hugging and figures lying down. A few feet away is another installation depicting three women lying on their sides. Located just off the coast of Gili Meno, the smallest of the three islands, the underwater sculpture park features 48 life-size statues based on casts of real people.
Located at a depth of about 13 feet, they are made of environmentally friendly concrete designed to create a reef environment where corals, algae and sponges can grow quickly. Although they are only a few years old, the statues have already begun to become part of the landscape. Schools of colorful fish dart between legs and arms, swimming around faces whose features are distorted by coral and algae. The Nest Project, created and installed by British sculptor Jason de Caires Taylor in 2017.
