There are some sculptures that can blow your mind, which is exactly what the Jason deCaires Taylor 'Underwater Sculptures' are all about. He created the world's first [underwater sculpture park](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tidal-stories) and then went on to create the national underwater art museum.

This year, Jason carried out some very interesting projects that are sure to be swimming in your minds for a while. 'Inertia' depicts a man sitting on a couch watching television and having a hamburger. The underlying idea is that people are unaware of what happens in the environment. The 'Anthropocene' project shows a [Volkswagen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bbox-bulli-edition) beetle housing a swarm of fish. Again, this simply shows the impact of human's actions on the environment.

The really attractive and meaningful sculptures are simply a sight to see. If you haven't already seen this wonder world, you can fish around this gallery.
