The 3D artwork, activated by agency PS Live, portrayed Stingray City, an iconic location within Grand Cayman, and allowed visitors to touch, stroke and kiss the artistically-drawn stingrays. This highlighted the Cayman folklore, which states kissing a ray results in seven years good luck.
Water sports, nature, divers and coral of the Caribbean Sea were also depicted in the 3D activation, which was created in various locations including outside the Sea Life London Aquarium on London's South Bank, Westminster Bridge, Tower Bridge and beneath the Gherkin, outside the Lloyds building, on St Marys Axe.
The activation toured around London, and those people who took photos of themselves kissing a stingray and used the hashtag #CaymanKissed were in with a chance of winning diving lessons from Oyster Diving, based in central London.
Don McDougall, regional manager of the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism in the UK, said: "It’s wonderful to see some of the iconic elements of Cayman here in London, against the backdrop of such recognisable views such as Westminster Bridge. Seeing a slice of Cayman in the capital just reiterates the fact that the Cayman Islands have some of the most breath-taking seascapes and marine parks in the world, which is complemented by an abundance of activities; from sunset sailing or diving, to visiting the famous Stingray City.
"We want the British public to be able to experience a little bit of Cayman here in London and inspire them to come and see the real thing for themselves."
