Tall trees is a photographic study of verticality in nature and with it, a reflection on our perception of cities as artificial habitats. It asks: why can’t tall buildings be as good as tall trees? The series was shot by design studio U-P at the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria in South Yarra, Melbourne.
