My concept started with the user viewing a handful of selected artworks through the head of a bee which are capable to viewing the ultraviolet spectrum.
This is based off the existence of many flowers and plants have invisible patterns that exist only under the UV spectrum.
From these, I found paintings by artists Henri Fantin Latour, Mary Vaux Walcott, and Vincent van Gogh and painted over them with paint that only appears under blue light. With this I was able to curate an exhibit experience where the user wore the bee mask and was able to see new patterns on these already existing paintings.
