“Save the Bees” by Ishani G. was chosen as the finalist for the Graphic Art age 13-15 category in the Documerica-inspired Document Your Environment Contest.

Judge Michael Philip Manheim, one of the original Documerica photographers, evaluated artwork in the Graphic Art category. Michael chose Ishani’s piece because of its strong message:

“The honey bees on which we depend upon for ‘honey, fruits and flowers’ are disappearing at a fast rate. Our attention is focused on the larger wild cats and animals and these bees have been neglected. It is time we put our hands together to save the honey bees.”

Ishani chose this photo by Marc St. Gil as her inspiration: Milk Wort and Butterfly in the Texas Countryside, near San Antonio, 06/1973
