A Dead Bolted John

Viveka

Oddly enough, the door to my bathroom is like that. We put a deadbolt on there so that the cats couldn't open the door and pee on the rugs.

Mechanics

Viveka

I don't know what it is... but it reminds me of this ancient old sewing machine we had in my parents cobbler shop. We used it to resole shoes. But it had all these elaborate levies and wheels and cranks, just like this thing.

Enter

These are awesome! I always wanted an autopsy table for a dining table.

"dead OR classified as high risk"

Were they putting living people in there?

Taking Note

Viveka

The words "fridge" doesn't seem strange to me, but the use of the word "body" here does. Its almost like they're storing the corpses for dinner or something.

Seclusion Window

Viveka

From what I know, people are typically put in seclusion for being an immediate threat to themselves or others. Or for simply being destructive, disruptive, or disobeying orders.

The Sisters

Viveka

Sisters... perhaps they were trying to evoke a family type environment?

Girls Bathroom

Viveka

Now this reminds me of the toilets in old army barracks. Clinical and efficient. Nothing more, nothing less.

Syringe

Viveka

To be technical, those are syringes. Syringes may or may not have needles on the end. A pipette is more of a dropper, while a syringe is defined by possessing a plunger which creates suction.

Haunted House

Beautiful, it looks like a bombed out conversation.

Tunnel

Viveka

Looks a little bit too much like a catacomb... but a lovely shot in any case.

Corridor

Viveka

Again, this looks like some sort of a government building, and not a mental hospital. I am surprised to see that the paint has not peeled off, beautiful none the less.

Devastation

Viveka

Neon black tanks grope the skyline. Devistater violates with dirty fingers. Beautiful work, it reminds me of some secret headquarters in the underbelly of the Soviet Union.

The Green Door

Viveka

It all almost melts together in the paint peeling abyss of urban decay, yet the colors are so stunning and vivid. Nice work once again.

Seclusion Rooms

Viveka

Yet another excellent photo. Though they are really not supposed to lock people in seclusion just for the heck of it... it never hurts to be skeptical of the government run facilities.

Me

I love your hair, do you ever put it up in a mohawk?
