Texas From Above

Texas From Above highlights the beauty of Texas borderlands and explores the process photographer and pilot Jay B Sauceda took to capture stunning aerial images during a six-day flying journey around the state.

Throughout the exhibition, visitors can explore the rich and diverse geography of the state through captivating large and small scale images taken on Sauceda's journey. These photos capture the essence of our expansive state’s beauty — demonstrating the color, contrast, and uniqueness of a topography that changes drastically from one region to the next.

Hands-on and digital interactives take a closer look at the striking scenes Sauceda captured and offer a deep dive into his extensive catalog. Artifacts and media pieces explore the tools and expertise Sauceda relied on as well as his motivations for tackling the project. Whether hunting for details, charting a flight route, or discovering how simulations can assist pilots in learning to fly, Texas From Above will immerse visitors not only in the beauty of the state, but in the process that one person took to document that beauty.
