COP28’s Green Zone is Expo City Dubai home to a distinctive yellow art installation that features a swarm of intricately designed origami bees.
By Day 5 of the climate summit, more than 500 individuals, motivated by a common passion, had already committed to protecting the environment at this installation.
The setting surrounding this interactive artwork, called SWARM, “buzzes” with a resolve to protect the environment since visitors are invited to make their own tiny origami bees and then write promises to the natural world on them.
These carefully made promises are then added to the already-existing sculpture, signifying how many hands working together can result in positive change.
Origami artist Leonie Bradley stated, “This is made from hundreds of origami bees that are representative,” in an interview with News Times on Tuesday. We have a game we play called “Fortune Teller” with the kids. The premise is that we need to make the correct decisions since we are responsible for our children’s future.
After the climate summit is over, this collective artwork will have a permanent home at Expo City in the Terra pavilion.
The public has added 500 more origami bees by day five, and they will continue to do so, according to the artist, who is a member of the UK’s Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, who folded some 900 of them.
