The Bankers (Los Banqueros); by Jason deCaire Taylor, in Isla Mujeres
*Buried heads, briefcases, and prayer-like poses—The Bankers in MUSA’s Manchones Gallery offer a haunting underwater statement on denial, capitalism, and climate change. Created by Jason deCaires Taylor in 2012, these six statues lie at 9 meters depth, where marine life thrives within their hollow forms. Powerful and provocative, this sculpture challenges divers and snorkelers alike to reflect on what we value—and what we ignore.
