Criando sombras/silhuetas a partir de objetos.

15:14   , , ,  

A artista japonês Kumi Yamashita, que mora na cidade de Nova Iorque, com o uso de objetos aleatórios, cria sombra/silhuetas de pessoas. Realmente é um trabalho incrível, pois exige muito da percepção.


The artist carefully places what appears to be an erratic display of letter blocks against a surface.
She proceeds to shine a light on them from the perfect angle to turn their combined shadows into silhouettes of people.
Though they may seem quite random, each piece plays an integral part.
Altogether, they make up the stunning results.
The closer you get…
…the more obvious each piece's importance becomes.
Even with single sheets of paper, Yamashita is able to crease them just right to create shadow faces.
There's something undeniably remarkable about the way the artist is able to manipulate a single source of light.
She reveals characters hidden behind inanimate objects.
The optical illusions take shadow puppets to a whole other level.
Perspective is key.
