Planet Earth is an eight-part series by Steve Sabella, composed from satellite views of our world. Made amid the war on Palestine, the project marks a return to aesthetics—a sustained practice of looking to still the noise and soothe the soul. From altitude, the planet turns painterly: rivers read as brushstrokes, colours settle into pastel, and land slips, at times, into the otherworldly.

Sabella reframes and recombines these terrains—shaped by nature and by us—until geography gives way to abstraction. The result is a poetic, luminous reading of Earth from above—an aesthetic excavation: looking down to look within.
