Maria Clara and Maria Eduarda Oliveira Santana are twins from Salvador, Brazil, who — until recently — were conjoined. Before they underwent separation surgery, Brazilian photographer Mateus André photographed the twins and their family. “I met them by chance, when my wife and I were spending some days in Goiânia,” André told the Huffington Post. “We were walking in the city, and I saw a story on TV asking for donations.” Inspired to help, André visited the family at the Casa do Interior de Goiás, where they were awaiting the then 3-month-old girls’ surgery.
