No thank you - I really don't like things like that - very upsetting I should imagine and that is not what I personally look for in art.

Yes one of the articles says that the portraits are a reminder now of the cons of the death penalty. They seem to say, im still here. Look at the sadness and pain i felt. They're very raw.
