4. Funny Heartache — Case Maclaim in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France

A close-up mural of a girl with a playful expression, pressing her cheek against her hand. The portrait was created for Festival Street Art Boulogne-sur-Mer 2025.

Case Maclaim: The artwork explores the complex landscape of female presence in public space. It speaks to the quiet burden of being told to “lighten up,” “smile more,” or “look pretty ” — commands that are as casual as they are demanding. The mural aims to reclaim visual space for women’s realities — not as decoration, but as confrontation and invitation. It is not asking for permission. It is asking to be seen. This woman is both subject and author of her expression. She is holding her head up – literally and metaphorically.
