Reflejos is a mural by the Argentine muralist Martín Ron on the side wall of a 13-storey building at Sarmiento 24 in San Nicolás de los Arroyos. Nearly finished on 22 August 2021, it shows a crouching boy taking an Irupé plant from a very low shoreline, mirrored in the water, to raise awareness of the Paraná River’s historic low water. In October 2021 it was reported as Street Art Cities’ best mural of September. Infobae (Télam) · Zonales · Cadena 3 Checked
