Aeroglyphs

Aeroglyphs evolved from my Lux Noctis series as I began incorporating the drone’s flight paths into the images themselves. While Lux Noctis focused on illuminating landscapes with artificial light, Aeroglyphs made the light source’s movement visible, creating geometric patterns that hover above the terrain during long exposures.

These luminous drawings in the air represent a zero-trace form of Land Art, temporary interventions that interact with environments without physically altering them. The geometric forms, circles and lines, create visual tension against the organic chaos of the landscapes beneath. Using the drone, I can execute controlled flight patterns that become visible only through the camera’s extended exposure time, existing in a dimension of time invisible to the naked eye.

The work draws some of its inspiration from the Land Art movement of the 1960s, but instead of reshaping the earth, Aeroglyphs are drawn in the sky with light.

The geometric precision floating above ancient geological formations suggests a dialogue between human intervention and natural processes, revealing the familiar in completely unfamiliar ways.
