The Silent Evolution

The latest and the biggest attraction of this museum has been named ‘The Silent Evolution’ by its creator Mr Jason deCaires Taylor. Ever since its opening, the Silent Evolution has become a hot piece of travel news for most people visiting Mexico. Visiting the attraction by taking a diving tip to a depth of some 9 metres under the sea literally transports one to a different universe. There are about 400 sculptures here that have been modelled on people from all walks of life. These life size sculptures seem to change expressions with the changes in the coral life decorating them.

El Coleccionista de los Sueños Perdidos (The Archive of Lost Dreams)

A male registrar’s sculpture is depicted in ‘The Archive of Lost Dreams’. The registrar is shown to be sequencing numerous bottles filled with messages. These bottles make up the archive and the different messages cover different aspects of life such as loss, belongingness, fear, and hope. These messages have been mainly taken from people hailing from different walks of life in Mexico.

La Jardinera de la Esperanza (The Gardener of Hope)

The La Jardinera de la Esperanza shows a young girl busy in the cultivation of different plant pots. These pots have been adorned with live coral cuttings and the corals come from areas where the corals have been damaged by storms or human activity. The base of the sculpture has been specifically designed to serve as the home for underwater life forms such as moray eels, juvenile fish, and lobsters.
