The mural depicts a woman looking into a frame, as a mirror, seeing her reflection as a man. It is designed to create emotional understanding in the process of acceptance in the #LGBT+ movement and their surrounding.
This mural is made out of mixed materials, where the last layer of paint (airlite) is compensating pollution over 52 cars per day.
Dedicated in memoriam of Karl Du Pigné, activist and true leader in the #LGBT+ movement in Rome.

According to the feeling, it's up to each one to see on which side of the mirror to stand ;)

Ah, even better! I spent a long time looking for a better, hi-res version but could only find that clipped one I shared above. And it was late at night and I was tired so I didn't even notice that it was a photograph, haha. I thought it was just one of those hyper-real paintings you see sometimes, like Omar Ortiz' work:

How did you end up finding such a good version of it though? I tried reverse Google image search and Yandex too, but neither really worker.

@zulu,
This time I used Google Image with the URL of your photo.
Usually I prefer TinEye, but in this case the results are not so good.
Nice work by Omar Ortiz, even if I overdose on the glorification of the female body...which causes me several problems:
- Reducing the woman to her body... according to predefined aesthetic criteria!
- Only the woman's body exists, as if men had to live theirs through the woman's body.
