Apidae Ex Machina - Black Hoodie

This is Apidae Ex Machina — a preserved piece from Ikon’s 2020–2021 archive.
Never revised. Never repeated.

The design centers on a daisy in bloom, visited by a honey bee with a skeletal head.
At first glance, it’s serene. On second, it’s a system failure. The bee carries toxicity—
pollinating not life, but decline. A natural agent repurposed by a corrupted loop.

The right sleeve features text on female morphology—clinical, unembellished, exact.
A scientific framing of reproduction, juxtaposed against a visual symbol of decay.

Apidae is the bee’s lineage.
Ex Machina is its condition.
Together: nature mechanized. Beauty overwritten by function. Function poisoned by repetition.

This isn’t design. It’s evidence.
