More than my Label

This striking black-and-white photograph by Gayatri Gupta, an artist and photographer with Down Syndrome, captures Jijo, a neurodiverse artist, mid-performance as a zombie. The image bursts with energy as Jijo is dramatically framed amidst a cloud of white powder, symbolizing unrestrained creativity and emotion. The interplay of light and shadow heightens the intensity of the moment, transforming movement into art. For Gayatri, photography is a way to express her vision and showcase the abilities of persons with disabilities. She treasures the moments when viewers say “wow” — a simple word that fills her with pride, knowing her art has touched hearts and changed perceptions.
