A fish or a bee?

This piece is a result of an experiment of the purity of the ultramarine pigment in contrast with the yellow of the racoon butterfly fish to suggest the idea of the vivid, magnificent colours in nature. The shape of the fish also suggests a flying bee, and makes the parallel between the two creatures which should be protected by us, humans instead of being threatened.
