The concept was first realized in an immediate product  of an abstract geographical shot, the artist often differentiates from  the idea of a painting wherein the produce is gradually evolving.  This immediacy of form allowed the artist to compare it to his  experiences online, the instant communication, the faster capturing  of images/stories, the rampant sharing of ideas overtly changing  interpretation overtime, hence it becoming more candid, unrehearsed  yet holding a multitude of meanings, abstracted as he would call  it. This experience in the collective mind space affects the viewer  inasmuch as in feelings of both anxiety or calmness and sympathy  or apathy. The low hum of a drone is metaphorically a silent  observer, a medium the artist chose to shoot an entirety of bodied  scapes, which he likens to vast world of the internet. The artist’s  eyes hover as the drone continuously speculates, picking up images  he finds most profound.
