Natura Morta is an art project by Russian photographer, Maria lonova-Gribina. It allows us to look into the most upsetting and sad part of the circle of life – death. The photographer revealed the motivation behind this project:
“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 said that these animals all died naturally or after vehicle accidents. The flowers all came from her own garden or around the area she discovered the deceased animals.

I took some portraits of some deer skulls I have. There are more on Flickr. They are all full of personality – click on them for stories.
