We’ve long loved the work of Reuben Wu, who helped create the art of combining light and drones to create fleeting moments.

In the past, we’ve seen strange, alien-like landscapes where he creates moments of light that feel otherworldly.

His latest series, Thin Places, we see what looks like a paper-thin, sheer drapery, or a veil, made entirely out of light. It’s a gorgeous take on his trademark efforts, and shows his evolution as an artist.

Reuben Wu on Instagram: "New work: The SIREN series emerged from a serendipitous encounter of artistic vision and natural phenomena. While my other aeroglyph work feature decisive lines, these forms surrender to their environment. The waves washing up on the beach shape the drone-mounted laser light into something sculptural and alive. What fascinates me is how these exist solely through long exposure photography, unveiling a beauty hidden from direct observation, images that feel otherworldly, yet profoundly connected to their natural setting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Let me know what you think in the comments ✍️"
