Off the Shoudler
2022


In the United Kingdom, it’s estimated that 2.5 million birds and 0.5 million mammals are killed due to vehicle-based collisions every year. Whether you’re traveling in a city or throughout the countryside, it’s hard to drive a few miles without seeing the remains of an animal splattered across the road, or its body slumped on the shoulder. Unacknowledged by drivers as the sight is so common, these animals lay untouched; becoming a common feature of the roadside, awaiting their fate of being picked apart by hungry scavengers.

Off the shoulder is a series delving into the respect, or lack thereof, that we have for these animals after they have died and an attempt at strengthening our personal relationships with death.

This series is a confrontation of the human impact on individual animals’ lives.  

Off the shoulder returns an element of beauty to the deceased and acknowledges each animal in a way that they would not have been if left on the roadside.




Warning: These images may be distressing to some viewers as they contain deceased animals.
