Satellite images that show how much we have changed the planet
Artist Benjamin Grant pays special attention to images of our planet from above. But it does not show picturesque wildlife at all.
The artist explores how a person has managed to change the face of the Earth over so many years of existence. To do this, the Grant selects satellite images taken by DigitalGlobe, which clearly show the results of the actions of skilled human hands.
The beauty of the pictures undoubtedly attracts attention and encourages us to take a step back so that we can finally see how our world is changing rapidly.
