Death is one of the most saddest part of a life cycle- leaving every person you love and losing everything you had behind. We can’t avoid that, because someday, we can’t breathe no more and can continue living. If we suffer the consequences of death, animals were too. Tragically, their life ends more than us, naturally and oftentimes caused by accidents with cars.
It’s been a tradition that we bury some dead animals and then leave it. But there’s this one photographer who did something nice in burying some dead animals. Russian photographer Maria Ionova-Gribina does an amazing project she dubbed as ‘Natura Morta’ wherein she honors the dead animals simply by putting them into a bed full of flowers and photograph them.
The photographer reveals how this idea of honoring dead animals came to her: “When me and my brother found a dead mole, bird or bug we buried them on the border of a forest. And we decorated the grave with flowers and stones.” She continued the tradition and using flowers gathered near the animals and from her garden.
Now, these dead animals sleeps peacefully.
