Death is the great unifier for the living. What remains is the beauty of something that once was. We are the cause of demise for many creatures whether direct or indirect action. People do not know the legacies of the beings for whom we cause their downfall. It is important to remember that death can only be preceded with life. I want to show case the morbid beauty of the deceased and show that these beings can still evoke an appreciation in the living. What remains is the beauty of something that once was and the only legacy that is left.
