About the work

In this vase, an empty beekeeper’s suit offers a narrative for viewers to step into, casting themselves into the character’s role. The central quandary, what to do about the bees disrupting her ‘picnic’? It’s an open story, inviting each observer to consider, do they shoo the bees away or allow a shared space? Confined in small, cage-like skirts, these figures hint at identity’s transformation under pressure. The scene’s tension and spatial limits reflect the challenge of cohabiting with nature, asking us to confront how we share our world with other living beings.
