These Photoshopped images from Serbian photographer Marko Prelic are somewhat eerie… and at the same time, a bit whimsical too. In each, we see a normal human figure, photographed in black and white, complete with a tree for their head. This unusual vision could have a number of symbolically tree-based meanings.
Could it be that these people are rooted in their native land? Are they growing there? Looking at the often missing branches, I’d doubt it. Here it looks like winter and a time for cutting back. Perhaps these people are stuck, unable to grow or stifled in their difficult surroundings.
Whatever the meaning behind Prelic’s beautiful photographs, each is notable for its surprisingly real appearance – something that truly deserves the title surreal. You can see more of his work on Behance.

Tom Foerstel : Founder & President

Tom Foerstel

Founder & President

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 60’s, Tom developed a strong desire to create positive change for people and planet.

 

He went on to pursue his passion for art and design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and worked for design firms in Southern California before moving to Boise, Idaho in the early 80’s. Foerstel Design opened its doors in 1985. Since its inception, the firm has cultivated a bold, happy, forward-looking team focussed on creating distinct and effective work on behalf of their clients.

 

An integral part of Tom’s philosophy is giving back to the community in which he lives — a company cornerstone that drives Foerstel’s long history of providing pro-bono services to local non-profit humanitarian and arts programs.

 

One of Tom’s proudest personal achievements is his ability to say Supercalifragilisticexpyalidocious backwards.
