Escaping the Hive explores the struggle of individuality against conformity. A central figure bursts forward, defiant and alive, as bees swarm and faceless figures bow into submission around her. This painting challenges the hive mind and celebrates the courage of breaking free—even when escape is chaotic and uncertain.
