Bonsai is an installation work inspired by the identity of my sister and me as twins, as well as the perplexity and thinking brought to me by the binding education of our native family.

The work interprets twins from a different angle and appeals to people to pay attention to the influence of native family education on children. The huge transparent "flower pot" in the work is like my native family, it gave birth to my sister and me, but also tried to control the direction and way of our growth, and the "vine" that finally gushed out is like a rush against the invisible bondage, and finally grow up, and get rid of the identical label of twins and symbiotic relationship.
