The object depicts a megaphone made 100% of natural honey. In many cultures, honey is not merely a food product but also carries allegorical significance, particularly as a symbol of the sweetness and benevolent power of speech. This motif appears in the Biblical tradition through comparisons of words to honey, emphasizing their pleasant and soothing character. This is evidenced by Biblical linguistic imagery such as: “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth” (Ps 119:103) and “Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones” (Prov 16:24).

A key aspect of this work lies in the authenticity of its material. Like the news, the object transforms over time, ultimately revealing its true nature.
