Artificial

By Lin Wai Shan

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Beginning as nomads, humans eventually follow in the footsteps of nature, much like bees.

Honey has traditionally been used by nomads as a food and medical source. Nomads give bees a place to live for both of their benefits. I believe there has always been a symbiotic link between nomads and bees, and I am really interested in learning more about it.

PROJECT CONCEPT

This study examines the interaction between the artificial and natural worlds before disassembling and reassembling what occurs naturally in the environment. I draw a relationship between the two using artificial beehives and honeycombs, and I employ various techniques to uncover their distinctive shapes. The interaction between the artificial and the natural is intricate and dynamic. We must carefully assess the effects of our attempts to duplicate and replace natural processes as technology develops.
