A surreal swarm of bees envelops a woman standing in a city street, clutching a massive bouquet of yellow flowers that obscures her face. Behind her, a crowd of suited men stares with ambiguous intent—drawn not by her presence of mind, but by a projection of allure. In this piece, the bees serve as a visceral metaphor for social anxiety: an ever-present hum, a force that both isolates and surrounds.
Impedimentum Sane explores the tension between personal ambition and the psychological toll of navigating public space—particularly for those who carry the dual burden of being seen and misunderstood. The woman, though central and radiant, is veiled in performance—attempting to connect while shielding herself from the sting of unwanted attention and internal overwhelm.
This work evokes the experience of masking, emotional labor, and the resilience required to show up in spaces that don’t always make room for complexity. It is about the quiet, persistent bravery it takes to be visible.
