Albanian photographer Soela Zani has captured an inspiring series of photographs, featuring children with Down Syndrome recreating famous classical paintings. Zani’s project is of great significance as it highlights the beauty in everyone and raises awareness of individuals with special needs.
Zani said that working with children with Down Syndrome was like working with children without the Syndrome, as both sides are equally unpredictable and easily manipulated!
Adorable!
