More information about Marija Hajdi?

“每日吃瓜 is an art form - live sculpture. Trees are medium. My inspiration comes from nature. Doing bonsai is my inner never ending quest for something new, for pushing boundaries of my perception. How to see, how to be able to recognize potential of material, how to make obvious, or emphasise something that on starting material exists only as indication. That process brings me great enjoyment, and make me feel really alive. It’s intimate, it’s personal, Doing bonsai I’m improving myself on many levels, but visible “result” of all that process belongs to others, to the viewers, and their impression in front of the tree, and in that moment bonsai artist is irrelevant.”
