This work is part of my fluttering heart series. Where I explore the ways that our hearts pump when moved by emotion. Abejita is also an ode to my grandfather, who came to me in the form of a bee 🐝 while mourning his transition to the other realm. My grandfather was a kind and strong patriarch, who helped co-raise a daughter, son, 3 granddaughters and 3 grandsons. I wanted this composition to reflect a happy and excited bee covered in pollen after pollinating beautiful flowers through the form of a heart. 💐
