Hand-blown glass hexagons are forming a honey comb that hosts a multi-channel video composition offering a fascinating game of perspective and scale to ennoble the existence of tiny beings. Luminously-clad dancers form flower patterns, perform the waggle dance of bees, and dance the letters of the alphabet. In post production, the artist assembles the letters into words to express the Bee Manifesto, one of Loher’s key messages that she is bringing to the word that begins and ends as follows: 

Bee Aware. There’s a dying dancing tribe. There’s a perfect mute cry, In the sky (…) Bee aware. There’s no land of milk and honey. There’s no future, where bees die. Bee Alive.
