Armenian artist Saimir Strati has to be all screwed out after spending two weeks creating the world's largest screw mosaic. All bad jokes aside, Saimir Strati did spend two weeks and over 300,000 screws creating his unique work, which he calls 'Currency of the Soul.'
'Currency of the Soul' features the Greek poet Homer on the face of the dollar bill as opposed to Washington's. You don't have to dig too deep into the piece's meaning to know that Saimir Strati's work truly is one of a kind. Check out the gallery above to see the finished product as well as some cool 'making-of' photos.
