“I thought what fun! Make a statement – another statement, as artists are compelled to do. The purpose [of this piece] is to bring home and awareness of the fragility of the human’s existence, dependent on a tiny creature that most shun, run away from, swat at and in general are fearful of – the Bee. She is indeed a friendly 'foe' worthy of adoration and appreciation, for without her, humanity will not survive.”Erika Wain
