A photograph constituting a testimony to the immortal sentence “No-one is infallible” .The photographer Jennie Barst chose to photograph a prisoner who has died with the objective of illustrating the unfortunate fact that sometimes we are strong and sometimes we are weak and moreover the temporariness of each of us in this world. The prisoner, who was in life strong and brawny with pompous body tattoos died looking gaunt and all that is left of him is his thin skin and shell, lacking tangibility.
