Instead, the bee serves as a metaphor for vigilance and protection, embodying the ever-present watchfulness of security forces dedicated to public safety. Through its form and presence, the piece conveys themes of guardianship and alertness, honouring the unseen efforts that sustain a secure and orderly society and drawing meaningful parallels between instinct and duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLee Wei Kong is an artist with speech impairment and a graduate of LASALLE College of the Arts who is now a full-time painter.
