When a member of the family dies, it’s necessary to tell it to the bees, otherwise they will leave the hive and they will never return.
This is because the bees have always been the symbol of unity, family, purity, laboriousness, they are the link between this life and the afterlife.
According to many popular beliefs and religions, the bees carry out messages directly to deceased on behalf of the beloved ones. 0111 represents the second opportunity to tell the bees that they have lost a beloved person and to send her a message but not only: it’s the celebration of a lifetime dedicated to work, to the love of the family and its affections.
The bees in 0111 have built an hive upon a cross which has been assembled with ancient nails, soaked in history and symbol of a popular wisdom which has managed to pass down over time.
These nails have been collected from a roof of an eighteenth-century Villa, that went up in flames they are the memory of people who lived there safe and protected.
0111 is life, a last breath and rebirth from memory, at the same time.
