Night

My name is Cricket. Many years ago now I was hospitalized and put on medication for schizophrenia. I remember being in the psych ward for a week. I responded well to medication and was more “normal” quickly only to be freaked out because I’m in a psych ward. One guy became my buddy and helped me deal with that. The screamers in closed rooms really got to me.

I have been on meds for years and have done well.

About the photos:

I’m an artist with a painter’s eye. Dark rich colors, subdued light I find comforting. I detest white walls because they remind me too much of the sterile hospital vibe. The beauty of the night has always attracted me.
