The research site of Divining Pollinators is located in the north-eastern part of Crete, in southern Greece, and the project is based on the analysis of the pollination system of Crete and the problematic trends that have arisen in it, creating a spiritual storytelling device about the pollination system with reference to real ecological problems that have already taken place.

Myth can also be understood as an ancient scientific method. By incorporating characters from some of the ancient Greek myths, this project creates a link between modern science and the understanding of nature as it was understood in the historical period. The aim is to revisit the new relationships and changes between elements of the pollination system in order to construct a more inclusive state of pollination, emphasising the new changes that are taking place in these seemingly marginalised roles in life. and how a variety of natural and human-induced actions are directly or indirectly affecting the region's pollination systems. And give the audience a platform to create and communicate what they see as future trends in pollination patterns.

Divining Pollinators project attempts to serve as a medium for dialogue between myth, ecology, and art by bringing in the perspectives of bees, plants, and wind (climate) to review the relationships between elements of the pollination system in the region's historical, present, and future scenarios, which merge the past present with visions of the future, drawing on historical myths, humanities, and ecological sciences, and offering a novel perspective on redefining the relationship between time, place, and ecology.
