"It ain't no honey babe" brings together translucent, backlit wall modules with insects semi-embedded in surfaces made of biodegradable plastic based on bovine gelatine. At a material level, the work condenses the intersection point between a subproduct at industrial scale and the progressive erosion of biodiversity, fixing the point of capture where life remains held, immobilized, and exposed.
At the global level, agricultural expansion remains the main driver of deforestation: nearly 90% of forest loss is linked to agriculture, and livestock grazing alone accounts for almost 40% of the total. In the tropics, the expansion of pasture for beef production represents 41% of deforestation, equivalent to 2.1 million hectares per year.
