A talented person is talented in everything, no matter what he undertakes. Especially if this "everything" is directly related to his main activity. Famous New York artist Kumi Yamashita, known to readers of Culturology for her masterful play of light and shadow, took up nails and knitting threads. And thus "tied" huge portraits of different people, combining them into an art project called Constellation … The name of the art project, Constellation, can be translated as "combination, cluster", which explains the process of creating amazing portraits as accurately as possible. Various combinations, variants of weaving of a single thread, as a result, turned a cluster of nails into realistic faces with emotions drawn on them. From a distance it seems that these are pencil drawings, and only when you get closer you realize that the Constellation art project is much more laborious and complex than ordinary painting.

For one portrait, the artist needed several hundred nails and one long and strong thread, which became both a pencil and paints. Without breaking or cutting this thread, Kumi Yamashita depicts on a wooden panel both portraits of familiar people and the faces seen in a magazine or on the street. So far, the Constellation art project consists of four portraits created with nails and thread. But there will be more.
