Thousands of individually placed black nails transform a familiar symbol into a striking sculptural portrait. Viewed from a distance, the nails merge into bold areas of light and shadow; up close, the image dissolves into an intricate field of texture, repetition, and dimensional linework. The piece explores the intersection of industrial materials, traditional portraiture, and the visual language of American iconography.
