Original artwork description
This handcrafted string art portrait is built entirely by hand using nails and nylon thread on wood.
Through hundreds of intersecting lines, a character slowly emerges — playful yet introspective. The winking eye creates a subtle dialogue with the viewer, while the expressive features suggest a life rich in memories and quiet humor.
From a distance the image appears solid; up close it dissolves into a delicate network of tension and balance. The work reflects how identity forms over time, through countless small connections.
A warm, tactile portrait about experience, personality, and the poetry hidden inside imperfections.
