The sculpture that tells of the sinking of an island

35Soloman Siren by Jason deCaires Taylor Sculpture.jpg
The sculpture by underwater artist Jason DeCaires Taylor demonstrates the effects of climate change.

At low tide, it stands on a narrow strip of sand; at high tide, it sinks into the sea. In the middle of the Pacific, a new sculpture is reminiscent of an island that rising sea levels have already wiped out. It makes the climate crisis vividly visible.
