White outdoor sculpture - Approximately 2 meters in size
In 2017, Quays Culture in Manchester entrusted the visionary artist Tim Boin with a remarkable mission: to create an oversized outdoor exhibition designed to convey essential narratives through the art form. Tim's response to this challenge was nothing short of extraordinary – he conceived and meticulously crafted four colossal sculptures: the Bee, Polar Bear, Whale, and Squirrel.
Awareness Art Collection - "Giant Bee"
Within the confines of Tim Boin's studio, these magnificent sculptures came to life, each a testament to the artist's unwavering dedication and commitment to the cause. Yet, as night descended, these sculptures received a magical transformation: they were graced with light. Utilizing the intricate technique of projection mapping, Tim Boin brought these sculptures to life with layers of storytelling visuals, turning them into enchanting nocturnal storytellers.
Fast forward to 2020, and Awareness Art, an initiative founded by the Groei & Bloei Foundation, took up the mantle of this noble undertaking. These sculptures, including the magnificent 'Giant Bee,' became beacons of awareness, casting light on the perilous challenges faced by these animals due to human-driven habitat destruction.
Standing before the 'Giant Bee,' you are not just witnessing a colossal sculpture; you are engaging with a profound narrative. This sculpture embodies stories of a fragile ecosystem, the intricate dance of pollination, and the vital role of bees in our world's tapestry.
The 'Giant Bee' transcends its massive physical presence to deliver a poignant message. It is a call to action, an invitation to contemplate our place in the natural world, and a reminder of the collective responsibility we bear as stewards of our planet.
This remarkable sculpture is more than art; it is a symbol of hope, a beacon of awareness, and a tribute to the resilience of nature. It beckons us to stand together in safeguarding the world we share with these remarkable creatures, ensuring that they continue to contribute their vital role to our ecosystems for generations to come."
