Bee in the Detail (Pī i te Iti)

Description

Bee in the Detail (Pī i te Iti) honours the bee through presence and detail rather than spectacle. Gilded in gold and layered with native botanical forms, the work draws inspiration from the Bunga Emas and the precious gift of honey. The bee becomes a quiet taonga, symbolising nourishment, reciprocity, and survival, inviting us to slow down, look closely, and recognise the beauty and value held within the smallest forms.
