Beauty Surrounds Us

God made all human beings in His image and likeness. An experienced Albanian photographer, Soela Zani, has masterfully captured a glimpse of this truth with his camera by coupling children with Down syndrome with famous works of art. After spending time with 14 children with Down syndrome, Zani was able to see these children less with his eyes and more with his heart. Inspired by the beauty of famous artworks, Zani has created photographic images that offer a peek into these beautiful creations of God.
