Tree and Moon from Women Are Heroes, Action dans la Favela Morro da Providência

A monumental close-up of a woman's eye gazes outward with quiet intensity, rendered in JR's signature black-and-white photographic style and translated here into a bold offset lithograph. The work originates from JR's globally recognized *Women Are Heroes* project, in which the French street artist plastered large-scale portraits of women across the walls and rooftops of the Morro da Providência favela in Rio de Janeiro. Printed in colours on Rives BFK paper with full margins, this lithograph captures both the raw humanity and the monumental scale that define JR's practice.
