No one who live in the world is not perfect!! The Lord is fair to us . Its no secret that the smooth, plastic bodies staring out of store windows arent true physical replicas of the people who stare back at them. But theres no reason they cant be. Pro Infirmis, an organization for the disabled, created a series of mannequins based on real people with physical disabilities, working with individuals like Jasmine Rechsteiner, a Miss Handicap winner who has spine malformations, and Erwin Aljukić, an actor with brittle bone disease. The projects title? Because Who Is Perfect? Get Closer. The beautiful process was documented in a video (watch it above), capturing the joy of the models seeing their own unique figures recreated for the first time. But the best part of it all is that the mannequins were actually placed in store windows today, filling the shopfronts on Zurichs main downtown street, Bahnhofstrasse, in honor of International Day of Persons with Disabilities today.
