Even if this picture was done by vandals, they still make a good point threough the pictures. They are obviously expressing their beliefs. To me it looks like they we trying to say that they were tempted by the devil but made it past him and went on to live happy lives. So just maybe they were trying to say in their own way that Jesus really does save.
Oh and I LOVE YOU ALI!!!! YOU'RE MY ONE AND ONLY!!!!

No wonder other countries look at the USA and see a crumbling education system. I think it would be brilliant if all these "artists" should be arrested and their punishment should be decent schooling.

I'm going for "You've another sinner" or "We've another sinner." What say you?

ali, the things you see on the wall WEREN'T put there by former patients; they were put there by vandals who came after these places were closed.

Same with the folks who drew the angels and devil - those were also vandals.

Now, as to how educated people are who break into deserted buildings, trash the place, and spray paint the walls, I think their grammar speaks for itself. ;-)

Of all the pictures I have seen at this site, this is the one that stays with me even when I close my eyes.

remember the picture of the angels going up the stairway.... and how they seemed sad because it looked like they were walking to the devil, notice these angels are happy and passed the devil. why do some people think these people were possessed? a hospital like this doesn't mean these people were possessed. they are drawing what they feel and believe, and it seems they believe in a heaven and a hell... like many do.

these people may have never had an education such as us, hint the spelling errors. also they are under-develop, they are just like children many times. or maybe these words are errors in our eyes yet in theirs it has a completely different meaning. these people see the world in such a way we can never even imagine... so i believe spelling errors are the least of their concerns. they didn't ask for such a life like this so why do you wish so much pain and suffering towards them?

If you slow down the DVD you will notice this is not from Session 9 but real art therapy. Such as the art therapy the movie based that scene on!

You can also tell by looking at some of the aging in this photograph.

it seems to be a very sad dark picture, i would have hated to be the person waking up and seeing this every day, knowing it was completely out of my reach.

nice picture, with the clouds in the backgroud, and looking up at the tower. black and white is great fot this picture.
