If you look outside a window, everything seems so abundant. The horizon seems to stretch out into infinity. But that’s only because we see Earth from a limited perspective.

If you think about it, we’re kind of like ants in an ant farm. The ants think that their home is enormous and that there’s nothing special about it. However, if they were to see the world outside of their farm, they’d realize that it’s actually very special and very limited.

This was one of the inspirations for the “New York City on Different Planets” project. It was made with StorageFront.com, to show that we should protect not just out belongings, but our own planet.
