In August, a heartbreaking image of an injured child sitting on an orange Aleppo ambulance chair became a symbol for the horrors of the ongoing conflict. President Obama revisited the child, who is named Omran Daqneesh, in a speech at the United Nations on Tuesday, quoting a young American boy who wrote a letter to the White House asking to adopt Daqneesh. For International Peace Day on Wednesday, Romanian artist Dan Cretu posted his own tribute to Daqneesh, a mannequin in the boy's image called Sufference Doll. He's offering to send his work to whomever donates the most to Save the Children, a charity devoted to sparing kids the worst of life as a refugee.A photo posted by Dan Cretu (@dan_cretu) on
