A World in One Cubic Foot is a series of photographs by David Liittschwager, a National Geographic photographer. He set out to document the worlds biodiversity using a steel frame of one cubic foot. “A cubic foot fits in your lap; you can put your arms around it. If you stand with both feet together and look down, it’s just about the size of your footprint while standing still,” he says.
