Honey Bee Sword IllustrationStudent Work
The purpose of this project was to produce work that we felt represented us, however that may be interpreted. For myself, that involves my relationship with both fantasy and nature. 

I have a deep appreciation of bees, having spent a year of my life working in a lab conducting research related to Colony Collapse Disorder. I also have always heavily enjoyed fantasy as a creative outlet and spent many years of my childhood lost in fantasy stories. Combining the two into a magical sword felt like a natural step. In the background, I utilized heather flowers since they are my German namesake.
