Treasure of the Bee
Without bees our lives would look completely different. Around a third of our food production is made possible by bees; many types of fruit and vegetables wouldn’t exist without them.
This project depicts all the things we would be missing without these hard workers. Still lives from the Golden Age, an era of abundance, are given a photographic reinterpretation, erasing all the products that bees are responsible for. They are empty and out of balance. The still lives thus symbolise a damaged ecosystem. A separate beehive shows images of the products that have been excluded.
