This artwork explores the intricate relationship between bees and humanity. A central image of a bee is overlaid with collaged text about honey and beekeeping, drawn from The Secret Life of Bees, a novel that delves into themes of community and survival. By incorporating these words into the image, the piece bridges the literary and natural worlds, emphasizing the importance of bees to the human food chain.
This collage is a collaboration with photographer Sandi Snider. She produced the photo of the bee on paper, and I collaged words that related to honey, beekeeping and bee colonies.
