Honey Comb

Kenneth DeCrosta, a freshman at Miami majoring in political science, focuses his art on documentary photography and photojournalism. His artwork chosen for Interconnected: Land | Identity | Community came about from one such reporting opportunity.

DeCrosta first discovered the subjects of his photograph Honey Comb while on assignment for The Miami Student newspaper. Tasked with taking photos of the Miami University Apiculture Society, he joined them on a routine bee hive inspection.

“I was drawn to this scene by the lighting which illuminated the honeycomb, [then] quickly fell off into shadow,” said DeCrosta. His interest in the hives led him to join the Apiculture Society, a part of Miami that he has become very grateful for.
