Artist's Comments

It was a prison for centuries.
A prison for political criminals.
They were always educated, young, talented and devoted to their idea people.
Most of them went crazy because of the inability to express themselves. They couldn't even talk to themselves. Leave alone talk to each other or write.

This is a window in the gallery where they had walks. Half an hour walk every two weeks. That one brand of the tree was all they could see of the outside world. If they were lucky and the window was open.

WOW. Alina ... very powerful image. Even without your words. But you added your words, and to me, it's even more powerful! I've often wondered what it would be like ... not seeing the outside world. This is simply wonderful. Bravo!!

Amazing... beautiful work.

With the story you can see my statement is true. Hope that you will one day set foot outside those walls. Looking at the outside world through that window gives them hope and they are blinded by it. They lose their sense of reality and forget they are in prison.

Though I don't care much for this photograph the story behind it makes up for everything else. The use of this window and its hole is very good. Well done.

Wow. The photo alone was enough for an instant favorites.

Now I'm just wondering how I can surpass a +fav because the story that goes along with the photo it is just that much more touching.

Beautiful work, one of your best.

Amazing piece of photo-journalism. What might have been interesting is if you had taken more shots in the prison and compiled it into one large piece.
