The Sad Stare...

The photograph shows painful eyes of a dwarf girl (30 inches long) who is suffering from a disease called Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle bone disease, which has taken away the normalcy of her life. She is saddened by the fact that she is very different from other girls, as the disease has taken her freedom to walk, dance or any of such normal activities.
