The artwork was created especially for the exhibition "Embracement" (2021.09.09 - 10.23), dedicated to the centenary of the birth of the famous Lithuanian modernist artist Antanas Mončys.
Artist duo Tomas Sinkevičius and Viltė Bražiūnaitė are interested in the issues arising from putting nature to work and its entanglement with human cultural and economic activities. The artists use beeswax to analyse the shapes created by bees – hexagonal honeycomb structures used for storing pollen and growing communities. In this work, Bražiūnaitė and Sinkevičius replace the regular hexagonal honeycomb with a chain-link engraving. The imprints of chain links act as honeycomb openings where bees can place eggs, pollen and honey. The chain-link imprint on the wax plate also acts as a reference to the links between human beings, nature and technology, as well as Mončys’s work where chain imagery is a frequent feature: from chains carved out of wood to multifarious entangled shapes in his drawings and graphic art.

Kūrinys yra specialiai sukurtas parodai „Glamonė“ (2021.09.09 – 10.23), kuri skirta žymaus Lietuvos modernizmo menininko Antano Mončio šimtosioms gimimo metinėms atminti.
Menininkų duetas Tomas Sinkevičius ir Viltė Bražiūnaitė domisi gamtos įdarbinimo klausimais, jos susipynimu su žmonių kultūrine ir ekonomine veikla. Kūrinyje Sweet Nothings pasitelkiamas bičių vaškas, kuriuo menininkai analizuoja bičių formuojamus šešiakampius korius, skirtus laikyti surinktoms žiedadulkėms ir bendruomenės auginimui. Bražiūnaitės ir Sinkevičiaus kūrinyje įprastą korio struktūrą pakeičia grandinėlės raižinys, kurio narelių „įspaudai“ veikia tarsi korio angos, kuriose bitės galėtų laikyti kiaušinėlius, žiedadulkes ir medų. Vaško plokštelėje esantis grandinėlės įspaudas tampa nuoroda į ryšius tarp žmogaus, gamtos ir technologijų. Pasitelkiamas motyvas yra ir nuoroda į Mončio kūrybą, kurioje dažnai pasikartoja grandinės įvaizdis – nuo iš medžio išskaptuotų susipynusių figūrų iki formų, atrandamų jo piešiniuose ar grafikoje.
