Vanitas

For a while now I have had a strong interest in Vanitas, Momento Mori, Curiosities and the process of up-cycling. I've always been inspired by the challenge of taking something that's not seemingly beautiful and presenting it that way. That should be obvious given my love of macro photography.

I'm personally aware that the thought of this isn't for everyone and may make some people uncomfortable, but to me there is too much beauty found in these things to not appreciate them.

To quote Auguste Rodin, “To the artist, there is never anything ugly in nature.”
