Where Have All The Pollinators Gone?

This wrap-style jacket highlights the impact climate change has on pollinating insects. The lower peplum and sleeves portray a collage of green plant growth intertwined with dark, ruddy hues suggestive of drought and wildfire. A large, dominating vine embedded within the exaggerated collar highlights noxious weeds out-competing native flora in areas affected by warmer and wetter conditions. Floral blooms on the front and reverse are visited by only a few lonely bees. The upper bodice and ruffled sleeves are emblazoned with black and gold, indicative of death due to a potential collapse of pollination-dependent agriculture.
