Making A Boy’s Dream Come True

Muscular dystrophy is the name for a group of neuromuscular disorders that are characterized by progressive weakness and wasting of the voluntary muscles that control body movement.

Luka is a 12-year old boy with an active imagination. He pictures himself doing skateboarding, diving, basketball, and dancing. The problem is that Luka is also stricken with muscular dystrophy, unable to do the most basic tasks of everyday life.

Enter Matej Peljhan, a psychologist at Luka’s school, and award-winning amateur photographer. He stages a series of dreamscapes by positioning Luka on the ground among props, and captures the photos from above so that Luka appears to be participating in various sports.

The result is an endearing dreamscape.
