Artist and bonsai enthusiast Ken To started making sculptures of bonsai trees from wire as a way to hone his bonsai styling skills, and they’ve come out so well that they’ve caught the eye of other bonsai collectors.

Kenโ€™s sculptures standout because they strictly adhere to the principles of bonsai aesthetics and convey a continuous sense of movement throughout each piece. Every piece is painstakingly shaped by hand resulting in a unique and original piece every time.
