Self-Portrait in a Woman's Eye, Kenya, from 28 Milimetres, Women are Heroes

A striking large-scale photograph by the anonymous French street artist JR, this work is part of his celebrated *Women Are Heroes* project, in which he traveled across Africa, Asia, and Latin America to honor the dignity and resilience of women. The image captures a self-portrait reflected in the eye of a Kenyan woman, a hallmark of JR's signature style that transforms the human face into both subject and mirror. This limited edition print, numbered 142 of 150 and published by Circle Culture Gallery in Berlin, exemplifies JR's ability to blend intimate portraiture with expansive social commentary.

Medium
signed with initials, dated '2010' and numbered 142/150 in pencil, further stamp-signed with initials, published by the Circle Culture Gallery, Berlin, framed.
