Finding Asylum was inspired by the love that both me and my friends share for forgotten things and places. Living at Marist College in Poughkeepsie New Yourk for the past 4 years, I have always looked at the Hudson River Psychiatric Center and wanted to know the history and stories that went along with it. 2014 spring semester I went out of my confort zone and explored the property with friends and I fell in love. It is its own town, roads, recreation centers, playgrounds, along with many other buildings with the roads still cleared. Its like life just froze.
