Artist's & Visitor's Comments from the Book of Fame:


"I chose to open the blankets
to show in my picture that they sleep on a sheet on a spring mattress,

no one should be treated with such cruelty whether they're considered 'criminals' or not.


The teddy bear
represents that everyone was innocent at some point.

The snake
means how being put in here because someone else says what you did is wrong
not only takes away your spirit but your exploration of the mind.


People need to explore nature and their surroundings.
Putting them in jail only lets them explore more criminals and hate.

With respect."
