Our planet formed over 4.5 billion years ago. Oceans and land were born, and the atmosphere began to take shape. Humanity stepped in, and our presence became widely evident. Our hand lies heavily on the planet as few places on earth remain untouched. OF THE EARTH captures the earth’s spirit and character through the art of the landscape.
