The artwork divulges in rectifying egalitarian principles amongst mankind as a unified ensemble, thus the metaphorical relationship between honeybees’ systematic impartiality. The artist utilizes an immersive installation of large-scale figurative drawings that comingle with different members of the honeybee hive in a manner which consolidates mankind to these insect species’ emblematic equity.
