Sometimes Nature leaves a little signature of its own.
The little bee moved from the centre to the edge of the jar and began walking around the rim while I continued taking photographs. Instead of ruining my final photoshoot, this special little bee unexpectedly became part of it.
When my diploma project was later assessed, my examiner even asked me, “How did you get the bee there? Is it real?”
The special bee was completely real — and completely unplanned.
At the time, I simply thought it was a beautiful coincidence. Only later did I begin to understand that bees would become something very special to me.
Looking back now, that little visitor feels like the first quiet sign — appearing at the very beginning of my formulation journey and leaving a tiny mark, quite literally, on the formula I had created as well as on everything that was still to come.
