Entomorph 2, Bumblebee

The second in the Entomorph series — a half-machine, half-bee that confronts the viewer with something out of the ordinary. The motivation behind this work is the devastating impact the varroa mite is having on global honeybee populations. Bees don't just make honey; they pollinate billions of flowers every year, underpinning ecosystems and food systems alike. The mechanical intervention is deliberate — a moment of recognition that arrives only once you look closely enough.
