In this painting, the artist explores the primal bond between mother and child. The mother holds her infant close, a quiet gesture of protection, while a swarm of oversized bees circles around them. The repetition of the bees transforms fear into pattern; chaos into rhythm.

The bees suggest both danger and devotion: they are symbols of labor, order, and instinct. Their presence contrasts with the mother’s calm strength, amplifying the tension between vulnerability and safety.

Through this interplay, the work reflects on care, fear, and the cyclical nature of both nurture and work — the eternal hum that binds us to one another.
