A Blacksmith's Surprisingly Human Statues Consisting of Nails

In each piece, there's a full story. You could easily write a page of dialogue from each one.

Tobbe Malm, a blacksmith and photographer in Oslo, Norway, calls his series Bolt Poetry. He reshapes nails and screws into forms that are strikingly reminiscent of human beings. They're simple, yet filled with dramatic tension.

All of the nails have a history, too. Malm found them at an old farm in Bergslagen, Sweden. Pulled from the wood, they share their stories.
