More than twenty thousand years ago in the Paleolithic Age, Venus of Willendorf, the earliest human statue in the record of the history of sculpture in the round, was created. As a symbol of fertility, the exaggerated manner of expression portrays the ancient society’s hope for thriving harvests and population, and directs to a form of fertility worship in certain primitive societies. Again and again, the image of Venus has reflected the human pursuit of beauty. The various art expressions not only reveal the perceptions of which an era held towards beauty, but also towards sexual desires and women. Ever since the birth of Venus, the figure has inevitably led towards a complex and paradoxical motif. With my own maternal body as the foundation of the artwork, I passed the torch on to the bees, who serve as co-creators to expand and mutate the piece.
