Hiraki Sawa

This Japanese-born UK-based artist uses aerial vehicles to illustrate his notions of belonging and transience. 

From ArtKrush.com: 

“Hiraki Sawa embraces the movement of people and the mutable notion of home as central themes in his work. In his early videos, Sawa mapped animated caravans, flying birds, and miniature men over scenes of his spare London apartment, creating surrealist meditations on the familiar and the foreign, travel and transience, and innocence and isolation.”
