Tal Gallery at Kfar Vradim, Israel

is honored to host an exhibition

of photos of our planet, taken

by astronaut Jessica Meir during

her seven month mission on the

International Space Station in

2019-2020.

Through the perspective of her

lens, Jessica shares with us the

rare photos from her personal

point of view, revealing her

impressions and reflections of

Earth as seen from space.

The images display magnificent

and inspiring views of our planet,

but also convey awareness of its

fragility. The aesthetic, almost

abstract images are in contrast

to the threats humankind faces

from the changes in climate,

deforestation, rising sea levels,

increases in wildfires and our

growing carbon footprint.

Some of Jessica's photos portray a

calm, peaceful look at the Middle

East, that does not reveal the

stormy events that take place on

the ground.
