Bee

$550.00

This work presents an intimate, enlarged study of an insect rendered with striking precision. Through the scratchboard technique, light is carved out of darkness, revealing fine anatomical details and textures that oscillate between scientific observation and quiet contemplation. The close framing and high contrast invite the viewer into a moment of stillness, transforming a familiar subject into something monumental and meditative.
