BESTIA

In a time of uncertainty and ecological fragility, this series of  photographs of dead and/or taxidermied animals reflects on permanence, loss, and the human condition. Captured in museums and various locations worldwide, each image isolates preserved creatures against dark, abyss-like backgrounds, transforming them from scientific specimens into symbols of anxiety and disconnection. Their lifelike forms belie their lifelessness, echoing our struggle for stability in a fragmented world. The series critiques our attempts to control and curate the past, highlighting the tension between preservation and decay. These haunting portraits invite reflection on extinction—not just of species, but of truth, certainty, and shared meaning.
