In his commentary on the artwork , Jason said the figures are designed to attract marine life on a large scale and as such will develop organically . “ These installations will be placed at various depths from the sea floor to its surface and will be laid out to resemble a path through a dense underwater forest ,” he said . “ Some of the tree forms will float just beneath the surface so that the whole structure provides a complex environment for marine life at all levels .
“ Marine life in the Mediterranean Sea has been seriously depleted over the last 20 years . The area in which the museum will be sited is currently a barren stretch of sand within a marine protected area . The sculptural forest made from inert pH neutral materials will attract a wide variety of marine flora and fauna . It will be sited within 200m of the Aiya Napa coastline and be accessible to both divers and snorkellers .”
