Artist Creates “Nightmarish” Underwater Sculptures That Are Strangely Beautiful
We all have different fears, but let’s be honest, besides spiders, a pretty common fear shared by many people would have to be the ocean…or at least the many possibilities of monsters lurking beneath the waves.
It’s no wonder that thalassophobia is a common fear. But there is one Japanese artist who is taking peoples’ natural fears of the unknown in the water and turning them into art!
The Japanese artist who goes by the name Thalasso hobbyer on social media, creates these nightmarish dioramas made entirely out of resin.
The sculptured scenes depict a variety of giant monsters, and many of them have scarily big teeth and other horrifying features!
But, the best part is that not only do you get to see just how these depictions are created, but you also get an explanation of the bigger story.
Quite neat!
As Thalasso hobbyer explains on YouTube: “I have created a diorama with a waterfront theme and uploaded a making-of movie on YouTube.”

Wouldn’t want to be in a real-life situation like that, would you? Probably not! But the artistry is incredible.
The artist also does replicas of ancient sea monsters, like in this video below:
Aren’t you glad that fish isn’t around anymore?
