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.
