Kumi Yamashita is an artist born in Japan, that lives and works in New York City.
Her work investigates the facets, the effects of light and shadow, the surfaces that combine with surprising results: an example, the "Constellation" series, made with simple materials that, combined, produce the portraits that you see: a wooden panel painted in white, thousands of small galvanized nails, and a single, uninterrupted, common sewing thread.
