Word... I'm going to make a point of scuba diving to this site (if it's an ongoing exhibition) when I get a chance to go to Grenada.

sorry to break the news but this wasn't a memorial or even about slaves
The response to the project was mixed. A lot of the locals could not see the reason why someone would want to build such a thing and not even get paid for it, said Taylor. Many locals linked the sculptural figures to slavery, because the local history involved slavery. Taylor was surprised by this since he certainly did not have that issue in mind in the creation of the work. “I was just making sculptures of different kids holding hands,” he said.

thats the great part about art..someone can look at it and take what they want from it. The artist may have had something else in mind but some one looked at it, where it was located and saw in it a connection to a real human tragedy. If anything the story enhanced the art.
Also once something is put out for public consumption the creator can no longer control how its perceived.
