A paddy field in northern Thailand has been transformed into an artwork depicting a dragon and a cat, symbols of hope and resilience as the community recovers from floods.
Farm owner, Tanyapong Jaikham, said the cat represents the residents of his hometown Chiang Rai who faced devastating floods during last year's monsoon season.
The dragon, last year's zodiac symbol, is shown protectively holding the cat.
Mr Tanyapong, who is an automobile engineer, collaborated with 20 people, including friends and family, to create the design.
They used artificial intelligence technology and satellite imagery - with rice plants as the main medium.
Requiring meticulous planning and execution over a one-month period, the artwork cost him around 500,000 baht (€14,000) to create.
"The art required great attention to detail, so we had to be very careful," Mr Tanyapong said.
"But with the help of today's technology, it became easier."
