“Society is shifting toward urbanization, modernity, and minimalism, and with these lifestyle changes, there is a stark drop-off between human connection and the natural environment. This installation attempts to capture that disconnection and raise awareness by portraying a current concern: what a future of continued abandonment of environmental values may lead to. The installation shows a barren tree, illuminated by the beehive hung upon its branches, symbolizing a last bastion for sustainability. Hanging from the same branches are two other beehives, although deserted, still shine dimly. The tree stands 9 feet tall, its roots withered to white ash. Yet although decaying, the tree stands proud.”
