Media Reviews
“In these exquisitely intimate close-ups—of French lavender, creeping fuchsia, cucumber flower and more—each specimen glimmers and throbs with otherworldly light against a backdrop as black as jeweler’s velvet…. These hallucinatory images don’t merely simulate a bee’s perspective so much as help us to imagine an alternative reality: that of a creature whose fate is indivisibly bound up with our own.” —The New York Times Book Review
