My hope is to try to create something original. Ultimately, I don't know if the results from these trees will ever be shown, but I would like to do these trees for myself, so if they are a little kitschy that's okay as long as I like them. Hopefully though, they will come out as something beautiful and different. But to be possibly cliche, "art is in the eye of the beholder."

I just think that there are so many rich stories from theology and folklore from around the world that talk about how trees have played an important role in the lives of people, our cultures, and our beliefs that I thought it would be a great source of ideas to incorporate into my bonsai. If this means that my trees don't conform to classical Japanese standards, that is okay by me.

I'm glad I could spark some discussion.
