Dutch designer Tomáš Gabzdil Libertiny built a glass vitrine and suspended this martyred figure in the middle during Design Miami/Basel 2010 back in June. He then released 40,000 worker bees over the course of the event to create a wax honeycomb structure over the figure.  Libertiny infused the figure with a natural red pigment that tinted the entire honeycomb structure red. This came to represent flesh and blood.  Read more about the religious theme behind this work here.

I must admit, the site of this is a bit creepy, but mesmerizing at the same time.
