This collage is part of a collection entitled “Small but Mighty” which features tiny creatures with extraordinary strengths. This image features bumblebees visiting Pacific Northwest native flowers. Bumblebees, like other bees, have complex social networks and very sophisticated means of communicating. Words around this relationship are incorporated into the bees and flowers. The words “Better Together” are stamped into the richly layered background. This piece is intended to remind us that we need each other and to treat everyone and thing as a respected community member.
