All the colours of madness... by

Studies going as far back as that of Goethe in the early 1700s have understood that pale green – the colour of new plant growth – is the most psychologically positive and restful colour… So I wonder what the authorities were trying to do to the already fragile minds of patients locked in shocking pink, electric green, and custard yellow cells?

The more I look at my shots, the more clues to inherent barbarity I begin see in the treatment of vunerable people.
