Here the queen cell rises from a field of purple roots, a reminder that protection begins with belonging and that every living being has a right to its original home. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQueen Cell is a body of work created during an artist residency at Art Farm West Dry Creek, California, which brought together artists and regenerative agriculture farmers. I was deeply inspired by the founder of Sonoma County Bee Company, who shared how she cares for bees in a way that honors their essential role in the ecosystem. Worker bees build the queen cell from their own wax. It is a sheltered chamber where the queen rests and grows into her full power for the colony. To me, it’s a powerful metaphor for boundaries. Protecting your energy is not selfish, it’s how a life-giving force stays whole. Each queen cell is painted by hand in sumi ink and layered with my linocut patterns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Favianna’s Art Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68144788930643,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2930\/5016\/files\/QueenCell_I_1500px.jpg?v=1794520930","url":"https:\/\/shop.favianna.com\/products\/queen-cell-i","provider":"Favianna’s Art Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
