Motts this is wallpaper worthy. WOW.
Wow. This is a great photograph. All of them are, actually. But this just screams out to me, to be great. Its like she's trying to get out, and I've felt that before too.
But no matter what, all these photos, and insanely MAGNIFICENT!
This shot reminds me of the Video to Metalica's song Unforgiven. When you are locked away forever, you are truly unforgiven in some way. Even the angels.
Emooooooooooooooooooooo-tion!! Love this!!
As I stand here in this empty, cold , and lonely room, I can feel their pain. All the people that were here before me are here with me now. They keep me company and reassure me that I am not alone. I cry to them because I know not why I am here, is it because I am unloved? Did I do something wrong? Why was I thrown into such a place? This is where I shall live and die. Listening to all the voices from the past, that were so badly treated, their screams
are my song to fall asleep to at night. Will I ever get out of this personal hell? only time will tell.
These photos are so illustrative of depression--the being alone, face hidden, back turned on the world, the emptiness, loss of hope, wanting to get away from the pain...and yet, reaching, struggling to get out, with the wings symbolizing a purity of spirit and remnants of faith. When I imagine the pictures that represent my own battle with depression, this is what I see. I also see mental health from a social work perspective, and sense the attempts to connect with the patient, to restore some trust in life and people, to guide the person back to health.
Such a beautiful seres of pictures. These are breathtaking.
I expect to see Juliette Lewis pop up in the next room.....and I hear Melissa Ethridge in the background....
