Padded Room

addy

am i the only one who thinks having a mirror in a padded room might be a slightly stupid idea? considering mirrors are made out of GLASS (among other things...)

Face

addy

the face reminds me of the thing on the front of the album "lies for the liars" by the used.

Corner Crib

addy

if you guys didn't notice, the area the crib is in is indented in the exact size of the crib's head board. it was probably designed so if the baby was slamming around in the crib, it wouldn't knock the entire crib over and hurt itself. if a baby is having a seizure, the last place you want it is on a cold, hard, tile floor.

Chair in the Midst

addy

my grandma has one of these in her living room (yes, my grandma is strange). they were dentist chairs. they aren't very comfortable...

The Sisters

addy

odd... sisters and brothers, almost like a convent or church of sorts. and the phrase painted on the wall in the first shot, "know thyself", sounds like a quote from the bible.

Corner

addy

again, the empty space is creeping me out.

Creak

addy

its not the fact that it's a crypt that scares me. it's the fact that there's an empty slot, waiting for the next person to die...

Bucket Seat

addy

that is so cool! imagine being the person to get that one. it would be like having the super mega jumbo pack of crayons in kindergarden. you would totally be the cool guy.

Shower Station

addy

the wash cloth on the floor... just to try and add some bit of normalcy to the situation...

Fever Cabinet

addy

the pillow on the side of it... what was that there for?

Peeling Vistas

addy

these doors actually have knobs on them...

Shuffle

addy

i wonder if this was actually used... how horrible that would be for the people in the rooms looking out into the hallway. just seeing people having fun, and never getting to talk to them...

Portrait of the Past

addy

i wonder who it was... theres a bit of white over her head, but i cant tell if thats just paint peeling... who was she? the possibilities are endless...
was it someone's girl back home? their little sister? their mother in her glory days? a favorite nurse? or was she nameless? cut out from a magazine... or maybe, if she was a nurse, from a brochure for the institution. that would be so sad, someone looking at the wall, waiting for that perfect scene to actually happen...

Arrangement

addy

oh my gosh... think about being put in one of those as an adult...
it would be like being transported back to infancy... except all the stuffed animals and toys and comfort objects have been taken away...

Rabbit

addy

the rabbit has normal rabbit ears... and then it also has human like ears on the sides of its head.. and the circle around it... i wonder what was going through the mind of the person who drew this...

Ole Bird From New York

addy

the drawing underneath looks like an arm...
it sort of reminds me of a drawing a saw of a police officer by a formerly imprisoned person...
could it perhaps be a drawing of one of the guards?
it doesn't look much like a bird to me... maybe it was a reference to some slang word, whose meaning has been long forgotten?

Shut-in

addy

were the doors metal? it looks kind of like wood to me, which would defeat the purpose of the bars...

Reinforced Door

addy

were all the doors in that section reinforced like that? or were the bars put there by a nurse, who was trying to protect the person inside the room? or the people outside of it...
