Drone Warfare

Oil on wood panel, 16 × 20 inches

Drone Warfare is a contemporary Cubist oil painting exploring surveillance, modern conflict, and the psychological distance created by military technology. Drawing in part from Farron Khan’s military background, the work examines how drones, remote observation, and digital systems reshape human perception of war, power, and accountability. Fragmented forms, layered spatial planes, and mechanical symbolism create a sense of tension between human vulnerability and technological control, while the fractured composition reflects the emotional and moral disconnection often associated with contemporary warfare. Through Cubist distortion and symbolic imagery, the painting invites viewers to consider the growing relationship between surveillance, conflict, and everyday life.
