Graduation project
Extinction of bee's
For my bachelor thesis in Media & Information Design, I explored the decline of bee populations caused by the climate crisis. The project translates a complex ecological issue into an emotional and tangible experience that makes the impact more accessible and engaging for a broader audience.
Concept
I designed and built a physical beehive installation with a weathered, almost abandoned appearance. Inside, four pull-out panels reveal different layers of the problem, combining data, illustration, and narrative. The use of real honeycomb elements reinforces the authenticity and creates a direct, tactile connection with the subject.
Scope
Each panel highlights a specific aspect: climate change, ecological imbalance, food systems, and the role of bees within our ecosystem. The visual language is intentionally raw and minimal, using burned wood, engraved typography, and high-contrast illustrations to evoke urgency and fragility.
Impact
The installation is completed with a powerful quote often attributed to Albert Einstein, emphasizing the consequences of bee extinction. By combining physical interaction with storytelling, the project creates an emotional confrontation that encourages awareness and reflection on human impact on nature.
