<p> This piece, which I listed in 2022 as part of the SuperRare x WoW collaboration curated by Brie Larson, focuses on the symbolism of the bee. After a short while without being sold, I burned it.</p><p><br></p><p> When the bee enters our lives, it brings important messages about productivity and balance. The bee has a strong work ethic but also knows the value of savoring the nectar of life. It symbolizes the balance between working hard and enjoying life. Aerodynamically, bees shouldn’t be able to fly due to their small wings relative to their bodies. However, through their mastery of wing movement, they surpass their limitations. The bee simply flies, reminding us that we, too, can transcend our boundaries and witness everyday miracles. The bee teaches us to live not according to others’ expectations but to our own potential. The failures we experience on our path to success often stem from expectations imposed upon us. In truth, the most powerful act in the creative process is breaking through our own limits and simply doing what we are meant to do.</p><p><br></p><p> Looking back now, I realize that burning this piece was an action driven by external expectations. That is why I am now returning it to where it belongs.</p><p><br></p><p>6216x7633 px</p><p>300 dpi</p><p>Digital Painting</p><p>2021</p><p>SuperRare x WoW, Curated by Brie Larson - 2022</p>
