The monochrome palette reveals an unexpected drama in the dance between bee and bloom - the grain of pollen clinging like stardust to delicate limbs; wings mid-beat in determined flight. These moments, fleeting and often unnoticed, are reminders of the essential, unglamorous work that sustains life. This series is a tribute: to look closer, honour the unseen, and reflect on the fragile destiny shared by all beings - however small - who move through this world on wings of dust and purpose.
