Sandal Gap Studio was inspired by 19-year-old Sevy Eicher, a talented artist living with Down Syndrome. Sevy, who is non-verbal, was adopted by her parents from Bulgaria when she was 12 years old.

“I just feel happy.” For Ms Wong, who lives with Down syndrome, art has been more than just a source of joy. It has given her the ability to connect with the world and a chance at a normal life.
