This work was influenced from narrowboat in London, UK. Narrowboat is a boat of a distinctive design, made to fit the narrow canals and modern narrowboats are used for holidays, weekend breaks, touring, or as permanent or part-time residences. Yumi Ukai saw on the news that the number of people living on narrowboat are increasing, and this gave her to think vaguely that she want to live on a narrowboat as well. It is impossible to make it happen in her real life therefore she decided to express her life of if she was living on a narrowboat in 25 different pieces of work and this is one of them. All 25 works have been subdivided into the Aircraft of the Sky series in the Seaside Life series, and this is one of them. Roomba, the automatic cleaner has been like a pet to us human recently, so Yumi Ukai wanted to make drone like a pet as well. It has a little charm of a little old man who is flying like a super man. Oil painting on a lined canvas is used in order to express the expanse of work, and lining makes it possible to expresses the side view as well. Signature is on the side so this work won't loose its vision and the intensity.
