I don't think it's morbidity, but a brush with the unknown.
We don't truly know where we go after we pass, but I honestly believe there is too much phenomena out there to discount ghosts.
By the way, these pictures are astoundingly beautiful and well executed. I am visualizing the building not as it is now, but as it was. It seems to be such a light, airy and gorgeous place to be despite the buildings *job* for lack of a better word. I can see the nurses in their crisp white dresses and caps moving from room to room.
Even the casket photos didn't disturb me. They are just a utilitarian cog in the machine of the sanitarium.
I'm glad I stumbled onto this site!
I agree, the thing on the floor must be an something left behind although I don't think window shade would be it. Window shades have too many uses for the psychotic patient to use against themselves or others. They wouldn't allow something like that in a patients room. I have an Aunt that is both mentally and physically challenged and she has lived most of her life in a Nursing home until recently. My grandparents are at a loss with what to do with her-shes not insane just challenged and there arent alot of choices in my rural area for people like that. I am also an ex-nurse so I know a bit about psychiatric patients and the cautions involved in protecting them from themselves.
I am a paranormal investigator, albeit just an ameteur. I see many planes and shadows great for matrixing. I do see what appears to be a gown ow a little girl but if you look closely its just the play of shadows and light. This is my opinion and mine alone. I belong to an online paranormal group and one thing they have taught me is debunk debunk debunk...That way when you can no longer debunk it, the proof will stare you in the face. I would like to share some of my paranormal photographs with you sometime-then you can see an apparition or 2 of little girls and a picture of a priest and af yet another man that are all still haunting a local old catholic school in my hometown..If you arent a believer before you see my photos you will be after!
WHen I look at this pic from my creative point of view, I see the one light in a midst of several shadows..The "blue room" seems to have a light of its own while the others remain dark. I'm sure this is how many felt as they started to gain sanity back again amonst others that would be lost forever..
It almost seems as if the tree is a refelction on how the people might have felt about actually being inside of this asylum. As much as the tree appears to be straining to get inside, their souls must have been straining to get out. And I liken the pieces of ceiling as hopes and dreams of the people as having fallen apart around them as they tried to pick up the pieces to go on..
Sorry, can't help it. these pictures bring out my creative soul..
I think that if you look at this picture from an Impressionists view you could see how you could compare the view of the window and beyond with the inner workings of the mind. And I agree with most of you. All of us have some kind of dysfunctional portion of our brains. And some people haven't the ability to overcome this on their own. They are still living, breathing people with feelings that they need help defining. Sorry couldn't resist.
Great pics by the way-you are a very talented artist-from one artist to another. lol
I can almost see all the doors slamming one by one as some manifestation appears and walks down the hallway.... Crrating sounds and sights that only could befit this type of architecture...Good imagination here lol
