Award-winning artist Kacper Kowalski, who we discovered on Beautiful/Decay, is a devoted pilot and photographer who takes aerial pictures of his native Poland. The majestic forests of the Central European country are the subject of his series Polish Autumn. The rich palette of the season and gorgeous natural forms of the forest landscape are abstracted by Kowalski’s bird’s-eye lens. Forests cover around 30% of the land, and the country has a fascinating history of woodsmen and their families who have forged their own customs, dialect, and unique dress living in Poland’s most remote locations. Kowalski’s images invite viewers to imagine a world beyond the trees.
