These old suitcases were recently discovered in the attic of the Willard Insane Asylum. They belonged to mentally ill patients from 1910-1960 who never left the facility. When it shut down in 1995, photographer, Jon Crispin, has been revealing the contents of approximately 400 suitcases one by one.
Ever since reading One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, I've been fascinated by mental institutions and this project gives me goose bumps. Doesn't it make you curious about the lives left behind?
