Artist Statement:
 

Capturing bird's-eye views through drone piloting three years ago redefined my world perspective, echoing my childhood fascination with falcon-divings and paper airplanes. Not a sec I felt bored spending hours fine-tuning flight stability and capturing breathtaking landscapes from my “falcon’s” view, which I stayed late to meticulously edit, indulging in minutes enjoying my creativity.  I take great pride to share my unique vision and artistic portrayal of the world's beauty.​​​​​​​​
