Having access to all the emotions that enter through sight and that affect sensitivity is an emotional and spiritual revolution. For this reason, I am happy to collaborate with ‘Iris del mundo’ by donating a photograph of my iris to auction and continue helping the Foundation’s collaboration on avoidable blindness”, declared Javier Bardem.

It is a hallmark, a witness to unique moments that can now be owned by whoever wins the bid thanks to this inspiring, original and unrepeatable photograph.” His eyes open other eyes,” he thanked Anna Barbadirector of the Eyes of the World Foundation.
