A Hand portrait with 2.1 Million Ink dots helps the cause of Benjaman Kyle

The picture you see is not a photo clicked with a camera, but a drawing done by hand. This technique requires a lot of patience and the end result is a portrait composed of 2.1 million dots.  MiguelEndara  an artist from Miami, Florida lent his art to the cause of Benjaman Kyle, whose name actually is fictional. In his sixties this gentleman calls himself Benjaman since 2004, after he was found unconscious on the street. Benjaman suffers from dissociative amnesia and has no clue of who he is and what his name is. Despite the media exposure, DNA testing and fingerprints, no one has yet been able to help him.

Half of the proceeds will go to Benjaman Kyle’s search for identity. Miguel Endara, the artist has also called the White House with a petition to give Benjaman Kyle a new Social Security number.
