Lavender Hill Bee Art Print

Vicky Steane’s collage, featuring a map of Lavender Hill in London overlaid with an illustration of a bee, beautifully merges the urban environment with nature’s delicate ecosystems.

The bee, a symbol of industriousness and environmental vitality, hovers over the mapped streets of Lavender Hill, drawing attention to the often-overlooked relationship between urban spaces and the natural world.

The juxtaposition of the buzzing bee with the structured grid of the city streets emphasizes the essential, yet fragile, role of nature within bustling urban life. Steane’s artwork invites viewers to reflect on the importance of biodiversity and the harmony that can exist between cities and the ecosystems they support.
