In The Code, Reynier Llanes stages a quiet yet powerful moment of reflection. The Beekeeper, a symbol of care and ritual, holds the translucent skull of the Poet—pausing in a gesture that echoes Shakespeare’s timeless question: To be or not to be?
Here, the Beekeeper becomes a philosopher, contemplating memory, mortality, and meaning. With soft, expressive brushstrokes, Llanes transforms this intimate act into a meditation on the fragility of life and the legacy we leave behind.
