A self portrait, in a large scale, Looks like its been sketched then printed in to a large scale. The also text in different font and size with a top and bottom border and a plain white background.

Its a image of an women she looks African American women, her eye contact is really strong, she deliver a really bold and a dominant women. The enlargement of the images create a very powerful figure. 

Its like as an artist she want to see a powerful side of her self and she has use these techniques of enlarging her image and having it roughly sketch, with very strong eye contact, is a good way of conveying this idea of a dominant women. 

The text also delivers a really strong message, Tatyana quotes " The portraits are designed into posters, including text that is inspired by the subject's experiences."   The whole project is based on the street harassment and is a serious subject and it effects women world wide.  Her idea of using quotes that are from the victims puts a lot of meaning in the posters. The way she enlarge the word women in the poster is like her main focus is around women, and that women are the main victims to harassment.            

I think that the whole movement is really effective. Every aspect of her posters and mainly this specific one show and delivers a really bold and clear message that harassment is a big issue. Her posters seems like warnings, stating a status that as women they've  had enough and putting up posters of themselves as people who are not afraid to speak for themselves and to be able to defend themselves.
