Bees 1&2

The series “The bees” is a remind­er of the import­ance of those insects in the sur­viv­al of our plan­et. The bees seem for­aging the knot of the garbage bag like they would with a flower. Like the impact that the dis­ap­pear­ance of bees has on plant repro­du­cion, this work alerts not only to the threat that human pol­lu­tion poses on this fra­gile spe­cies, but also to the pro­lif­er­a­tion of our waste. Com­pleted with char­coal pen­cil and col­oured pen­cil, this series seems to cap­ture a pre­cise moment, like a photo. The very low depth of field invites the view­er in this micro­cosm where plastic is king.
