In this work, a dandelion is depicted as an almost ethereal, luminous object floating in an abstract, blue-green world full of texture and bursting patterns.
The fine threads of fluff seem to fan outwards like rays of light, giving the flower something akin to an energetic explosion or cosmic phenomenon.
The central core, warmly coloured in shades of red and purple, is a powerful contrast to the cool background.
In the centre of the flower is a bee, brightly recognisable and realistic, bridging the abstract sphere with tangible nature. The composition emphasises both fragility and vitality: the fragility of the dandelion, the hustle and interest of the bee, and the fragile, almost picturesque background. The subtle vertical letters "BEE" add a graphic element and reinforce the thematic focus of the work.
