Craig Duncan, The Lost (ANIMAL & NATURE 2023)

As we drive through forests, cleaved in two by a strip of tarmac, you rarely stop and consider the rotting corpses parallel to your journey. First and foremost, this project is an environmental message. A depiction of the lives we are losing daily and just how perilous life for each of these creatures is. These pictures are part of a larger project that asks you to recognize the lives of each creature taken by road collisions. It wants you to embrace the beauty lost and see the damage caused. All of these birds have been found dead as a result of road collisions, to be photographed before being returned to nature.
