Prison Escape

Seeing the inside of a prison, you are overwhelmed by a feeling of enclosure, surrounded by high walls, barbed wire and a succession of locked gates at every turn, each one reinforcing the sense that there is no way out.

Each barrier is a reminder of the freedom left behind. From the bars on the windows to the stick figures on the ground that dictate where you have to walk.

You can begin to understand how the dream of escape becomes so powerful the longing not simply to get out, but to take back the freedom and to choose your own direction.

This image is a reflection of the walls, retaining gates and barbed wire that surround and hold you in. But it can also be seen as a reflection of freedom, a reminder of what you once had, and of the freedom that now lies just beyond those barriers. The walls are not only physical; they become a symbol of the boundaries that separate you from the life and freedom you once knew.
