Looking up through a redwood forest, photographer Strati Hovartos changes our perspective entirely. The magnificent trees tower above, offering a taste of the sublime. Dark trunks contrast rhythmically with slices of light in a kaleidoscopic view. An act as simple as looking skyward can alter the way we see the world.
