A Dance of Reciprocity
Gallery 3
Through the Bees' Eyes
Flowers exist not for ornament, but for offering. They open themselves in colour, scent, and form to guide the bee—to nourish, to invite, to continue life. This painting imagines flowers as bees perceive them: not as still objects, but as luminous signals pulsing with direction and promise.
​
Seen through the bee’s eye, petals become pathways and colour becomes language. Reds, pinks, and golds overlap and vibrate, calling the pollinator inward. Forms dissolve and reassemble, reflecting a world experienced in motion, instinct, and urgency rather than detail. What humans admire for beauty, bees read for survival.
​
The layering of flowers speaks to abundance and generosity—each bloom offering sustenance, each visit completing a sacred exchange. In return, the bee carries life forward, unseen and uncelebrated, stitching continuity between seasons.
​
This work honours the mutual devotion between flower and pollinator. It reminds us that beauty has purpose, that attraction is an act of care, and that life persists through cooperation rather than control. To see as the bee sees is to glimpse a world guided by trust, reciprocity, and quiet wisdom.
