Road Kill

Roadkill

Often times I find myself considering the dignity of animals who have been struck by vehicles. As I was driving to classes one morning I came across a buck who had been struck and was clearly in the last moments of his death I waited with it while it died. I suppose we all die alone and it may have been selfish and voyeuristic to have stayed as it took its final breath. I made this brooch as a memento of that morning.
