The Many Faces of Mona Lisa

The Mona Lisa is one of the most famous portraits in history, known for her mysterious expression and timeless presence.

For this challenge, recreate or reinterpret the Mona Lisa in your own unique way. You can transform her style, setting, personality, or materials.

Maybe she lives in the modern world, maybe she’s made of LEGO, food, sand, or pixels — or perhaps her expression tells a completely different story.

The goal is simple: give Mona Lisa a new identity while keeping her iconic spirit alive.
