Days of Dedication, Weeks of Wandering: Journeys of Bee & Being

In this piece, the meticulous world of the patchwork leafcutter bee meets the human digital realm; the leafcutter bee, throughout its fleeting existence, displays unparalleled dedication, diligently constructing its nest from the very essence of nature. Contrasting with this, the contemporary human condition, where, on average, 30 days per year dissipate into the ether of social media, a realm often detached from tangible reality.

The foundation of this artwork is a repurposed iPhone case, symbolising not just the digital vortex where so much human time is lost but also the potential for pause and reflection. Just as the bee utilises every resource to benefit its ecosystem, so too can we redirect our time and materials reducing the aimless wandering in our increasingly digital world.
