A few years ago, a colleague of mine
had shown me a website that had left me feeling disturbed and somewhat shaken.
The website was supposedly a photo journal of a youth aged 26 years old, named
“Wu Xiao Kang” who was afflicted with schizophrenia, where he had taken the
laborious effort to capture haunting snippets of his journey through a
debilitated mental hospital building to his final fall from the building. The
images with its simple depiction of inanimate objects of the door railings,
pharmacy counter, stairwell, broken window panes and parts of a building long
forgotten contrasted against a blue sky can leave behind such a profound
impression.
