HEAVENWARDS
FAMOUS TREES AROUND THE WORLD
»Heavenwards - Famous Trees around the World« is the current project Tom Jacobi has been working on for the past 4 years.
In all times and cultures, trees have been regarded sacred and as the link between heaven and earth.
The all-defining issue of our time is the ecology & environment and will remain so in the years to come. Without trees there would be no life on earth as we know it.
There are estimated to be roughly 3 trillion trees on earth, more than stars in our Milky Way – but only a few famous ones:
> Trees that are eternally linked to a legend that has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries.
> Trees of superlatives: the oldest, the thickest, the tallest representatives of their species.
Tom photographed them on six continents, these silent friends of our soul. They have one thing in common: Each of them is unique and tells a story.
Stay tuned for news about the project.
