Done with all the presentations, here’s my point: JR achieves what all creators look for – the perfect balance between form and function. In terms of form, the aesthetic of his work in magical – everything, from degradeted walls to old trains become a work of art, with his large format prints of faces and eyes. And in terms of function, the result is even more impressive – he calls out the attention for all the social problems that concern him in a way that few ONG’s can brag about. Kudos for Mr. JR.
