Thoughts behind this drone-insect:

This drone-insect is part of a series of four, inspired by modern drones—both as toys and as war machines. My drone has a brush at the rear, allowing it to back into the center of flowers to pollinate each one.

My thoughts behind the four pollinator drones can be seen as a commentary on the decline of insects and the biodiversity crisis. When real insects are gone, and pollinators are still needed for crops and flowers, human-made “aliens” like this might become the solution.

Each of the drones has a helipad landing zone with a single letter. Together, they spell the word: HELP

Habitat:
Designed as a drone landing pad with the letter “L.”

Materials:
Copper frame, aluminum, and colored foil.

This piece is an element in a composite artistic work, and is part of the HABITAT project.
