In the Ward, Amongst the Bones

There was very little left inside the wards at Worcester State Hospital when I finally got the opportunity to see them. This folding chair, photographed by perhaps hundreds of other explorers, was one of the few sparks of color that spoke to me. In a sunlit ward room sat this chair that presumably a patient once sat in, or perhaps a staff member while monitoring a patient who could not be left alone. It's difficult to say really, what the purpose was but one can only imagine how many different individuals had sat in this chair that has now become just another pile of rubble.
