In previous works, I was attracted by the idea of the domestication of plants. According to Wikipedia, the purposes of bonsai are primarily contemplation for the viewer, and the pleasant exercise of effort and ingenuity for the grower. By contrast with other plant cultivation practices, bonsai is not intended for production of food or for medicine. Instead, bonsai practice focuses on long-term cultivation and shaping of one or more small trees growing in a container. I pressume that the main intention is aesthetic. The beauty. Because we love beautiful things. It is very interesting how we modify certain creatures for our sake of satisfaction.
