Russian photographer Maria Ionova-Gribina created the series ‘Natura Morta’ to honor the dead animals she found during her summer bicycle rides. All of the animals pictured died of natural causes or car accidents and were found soon after their death.

Probably it was a children’s curiosity, our first studies of mortality. In this project I work with my childhood memories and with the subject of life and death.”
