The artist behind the world's first underwater sculpture park has just unveiled his latest subaquatic project -- a spectacular sunken forest located off the coast of Pernera beach in Ayia Napa, Cyprus. 世界上第一个水下雕塑公园背后的艺术家刚刚公布了他的最新水下项目——位于塞浦路斯阿伊纳帕海岸的佩内拉海滩旁的一个壮观的水下森林。  The Museum of Underwater Sculpture in Cyprus (Musan), which cost €1 million ($1.1 million) to bring to life, is made up of 93 sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor, whose previous work includes the Molinere Bay Underwater Sculpture Park in Grenada and Mexico's Isla Mujeres National Marine Park. 塞浦路斯的水下雕塑博物馆耗资100万欧元(110万美元)，由杰森·德凯雷斯·泰勒的93件雕塑组成，他之前的作品包括格林纳达的莫里纳尔湾水下雕塑公园和墨西哥的穆赫雷斯岛国家海洋公园。  Taylor aims to put the spotlight on "rewilding our natural spaces" and "reforesting areas of barren habitat" through the installation, which explores the relationship between man and nature. 泰勒的目的是通过这个公园内把焦点放在“我们的自然空间重新野生化”和“在贫瘠的栖息地重新造林”上，探索人与自然的关系。  Some of the figures featured include huge trees weighing up to 13 tons as well as children pointing cameras at shapes depicting the human race while playing hide and seek. 其中一些雕塑作品包括重达13吨的大树，以及孩子们在玩捉迷藏时用相机指着描绘成人类的雕塑。  "I tried to incorporate as many references to climate change and habitat loss and pollution as I could, because those are really the defining issues of our era," Taylor tells us. 泰勒告诉我们:“我试图尽可能多地加入了气候变化、栖息地丧失和污染，因为这些确实是我们这个时代的重要问题。” "I'm kind of hoping that it leaves the visitor with a sense of hope along with a sense that the human impact isn't always negative. That we can reverse some of the things we've done.” “我希望它能给游客带来希望，让他们意识到人类的影响并不总是消极的。 我们可以扭转我们所做的一些事情。”  "But I also hope that it instills some other messages about holding genes and corporations responsible. It's really about safeguarding the future of the younger generation." “但我也希望它能传达一些其他信息，为基因和公司负起责任来。这是为了保护年轻一代的未来。” Each of the sculptures, which were lowered below the surface by crane, were made with inert pH neutral materials that attract marine life and have been placed at different depths, so that the biodiversity of the area may be "enriched" by their presence over time. 每一件雕塑都是用惰性的pH中性材料制成的，吸引了海洋生物，并被放置在不同的深度，因此随着时间的推移，该地区的生物多样性可能会变得更为“丰富”。  |
