(Honorable Mention – Sculpture)
School: Palmer High School
Grade: 12th
For this sun catcher, I wanted to communicate that humans are the main reason as to why the bee population is dwindling. I used different shades of yellow and orange glass for the honeycombs because they are reminiscent of honey and the insects that make it. Two of the bees are made of clear glass, showing that what used to be there is now gone. Some honeycomb pieces are mirror so that they reflect the viewer, showing them that humans are the cause of the vanishing bees.
