Triptych. Bonsai Consciousness 3. Hachi-no-ki (Consciousness)

Bonsai is the Japanese art of growing an exact replica of a real tree in miniature. The root system of the tree is limited by the size of the pot, causing the trunk and crown to form in a certain way based on the conditions created. This work is an attempt to think about how the components of human essence (physical and spiritual) interact with the outside world, in what relationships and dependencies consist. As in public life there are rights and responsibilities, so in biological and physical, there are opportunities and consequences. The third part of the triptych is called “Hachi-no-ki”, meaning “tree in pot” in Japanese. The formation of human consciousness is directly dependent on the development of the body and spirit, as well as the outline of its essence.
