Walking through the eerie corridors of the Eastern State Penitentiary, you can feel years of solitude seeping in through each photograph. These photographs are proof you can find something beautiful in even the most hopeless of places. The cracks in the wall panels, the peeling paint, the shattered glass, the dust and debris overriding the ground can serve to represent the damage our souls encounter throughout life. But looking closely, we can spot the light and the hope that still resides after all that damage is done.
We can all feel in prison within our physical bodies.. Within our enviornment, work, school, relationship. It is when we reach outside of these limitations, accept change is inevitable, that we can come to realize that the answers to happiness are already buried deep within ourselves. Look in the mirror to find the serenity, the beauty...
Instead of letting sins and scars haunt us, we must embrace them and grow stronger.
