This is a project that focuses on building awareness for solitary bees and how we can use public sculptures/artifacts to help and to create a positive vision of the future through art, design,science and to promote bio diversity. A lot of modern techniques like 3D modeling, 3D printing, and CNC milling were used to bring this artifact to life. Public artworks are proven to have a positive effect on our mental health and create discussion, so with this project I wanted to create a public sculpture/artifact that benefits both humans and bees, make sure that people would take notice to it and start to investigate the creation, see all the life that lives around and inside it. This is a form with a function. The material used in this creation will be discarded wood and the wood will decompose with time. Vacancy focuses on integrating nests for species, in this case solitary bees, within artistic public sculptures and artifacts. Through the creation of this sculpture/artifact, the project aims to engage and inspire the curiosity of the viewer to reflect on the ongoing crisis facing our pollinators. Furthermore, the project aims to promote biological diversity.
