the Bonsai Diary
It's 2023, and you plant a small tree seedling, imagining its future. Bonsai trees can live hundreds of years. Who will inherit this living being? What will that person think of you in 2178? Will they think of you at all? Use simple brush or pen strokes to shape your bonsai. On each page, you'll trace your previous bonsai and add one more stroke. Watch your bonsai grow bigger, page after page. Draw as impulsively or as meditatively as you want. And ask: Who are you? What do you hope for the future?
