Zoe
Oil on canvas, 40 x 40 cm.
Don't let my elegant and delicate appearance fool you; ever since I was a child, I've worked hard every day to keep life on Earth going. For millions of years we've organised ourselves to do our job, but there are fewer of us now and our resources are more limited.
Now, tired and weary, I pause and observe the world. I watch you, calm but resigned. With the future in your hands, I will continue my mission, keeping a cry for help to myself.
This work was part of the group exhibition ¿Quién verá las últimas abejas? - Who will see the last bees? - at Taller Balam gallery, Barcelona, in July 2023.
