" L'Abeille Mécanique " - the mechanical bee Sculpture - Limited Edition of 3

What I try to express in my work is the "desire of harmony" and the belief that this harmony is possible. Harmony between humans, harmony between us and the way we use our technology, but most of all, harmony between humans and other living beings, in other words: what we call nature. I chose to use the bee because it is a very ancient and strong symbol that several ancient civilizations have used (like the Egyptians). My bee wants to express this harmony between us and nature, between the living and the artificial we create. My work on the clockwork inside the bee aims to give the impression of life to the bee as I seek to express through this moving mechanism the precision, delicacy and complexity of the mechanisms of life that are not visible to the naked eye we have. I want to shout about the possible disappearance of bees, which are currently in danger. In some science fiction works, natural bees have been replaced by artificial bees (nanobots) which is both fascinating and terrifying. Behind the image of the marvelous and the magical that my work evokes in its first reading, one can also have this terrifying reading on the possible disappearance of bees and their replacement by nano-robots. This is also why the mechanism of the bee is a clock and its sting indicates the time on the rotating base (1 tour/12h). This reminds us that time is important.
