I think it's beautiful and I love when art also has a function. I imagine the people in this community feel pretty proud about the project and just because they're in a slum doesn't mean they can't find joy in beautiful artwork. Imagine how beautiful those women must feel to have their eyes part of such a neat piece of art. I love this to pieces.

Is that a helicopter photo? How much was it to rent that? How much more roofing and food and medicine could you have bought with this? Oh wait it's art, a symbolic gesture so a bunch of people living in airconditioning can nod all self-satisfied. This kind of nonsense gives art a bad name.
