This is a work by artist  Kumi Yamashita, a Japanese artist.  Yamashita is most known for her "Shadow Art."  She is not the only artist who uses or relies on shadows to create her visuals, however she is one of the only artists to ever combine tangible materials with immaterial.  The piece above is a part of her ​Light and Shadow series.  She uses a single source of light and either carved objects or in this case metal objects or letters to create a form within the shadows. I love the unique and creative aspects of this work and I would love to know even more about how it is made.
