The project highlights how humankind is altering the Earth by creating a 6-meter-tall inflatable sculpture of our planet morphed into a pear, using NASA open-source 3D high-resolution images of planet Earth—with many details of our beautiful planet visible.
Seeing our planet floating in space gave us a new perspective on ourselves. But we need a new perspective on the planet! Can we change our relationship with our planet and get it back into shape?
