A moving light illuminates
the natural structures of hexagonal cells of wax,
revealing their spectrum of surfaces, structures and colors.
Filmed in a quiet artist studio, the focus of two fixed, yet continously changing views seems to penetrate the inner aesthetics of beehive frames.
The scene offers a sensual experience: it could be a sense of calm, also the impression of witnessing natural beauty in a fine form like never before --- or amazement about the transmitted impact of a handdirected light.
