Terrariums – Vernon Caldera

I make terrariums based on the Bonsai principles of recreating nature on a miniature scale. Having grown up around indoor gardens in Nicaragua, I wanted a way to bring the garden inside.

In Bonsai, the caretaker creates a vision of a forest on a small scale. I then expanded this to cities, ideas and emotions. I want the viewer to think of the plants as citizens of each planet.
