Its all in the eyes

I have done a blog post about this mural before but I had a few shots I had not edited and I thought the eyes, especially of this mural, were so eye-catching and impressive that it deserved a second post

This was one of 5 Murals that were part of a joint Project between the ILO ( International Labour Organization) and a foundation Street Art for Mankind, all by different artists and all impressive in there own right, this piece is by Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada and is focusing on Child and forced labor

This piece was on 42nd Street between 3rd and 2nd Ave on the side of the Westin Hotel, and I saw this one as it slowly came together by the artist, as I walked up and down 42nd to my office at the time, here it is at work on one of the eyes

I will admit I was passing by all 5 of the murals at the time as they were being painted, and this one was the one that initially I was not impressed with as the colors were more muted and the detail not apparent, but when the artist added the two children working in factories in the eye it made it such a powerful piece.
