Amazing Light and Shadow Art by Kumi Yamashita

Living and working in New York City, Japanese artist Kumi Yamashita has a series of work using simple shapes and objects with light to create the most incredible shadows. Using a single light source that projects light onto the material, Yamashita forms silhouettes of people and faces in the series entitled Light & Shadow.
