Why, again ? I feel so empty, why do I lack so much of confidence ? Why can’t I be like normal people ? Why can’t I be happy and confident about future ? Why can’t I even take a pen and do something decent ? I’m falling in my mind’s limbo, again...
The worst part is.
Nobody will know, unless I tell them, but I don’t know to whom I am supposed to confess.
This can’t last forever, I know it will stop, I will reach the surface and take a new breath. But what, after ? I would still have this fucking sword on the top of my skull, waiting to fall, again.
I wish this could stop forever.
Fighting again, again, again, again, again, again... anxiety.

These images are stunning! -Emily
Oh, I just love how these animals fill up their frames! I know the moose are taxidermy, and the foxes as zoophagous pointed out, the foxes look like whole, frozen dead animals propped up. Although I think the tails look like they are not frozen, so maybe the tails are from a different individual? Other pictures are digitally altered. So these are art, not really wildlife photography in the journalistic sense of the word. From the press release:
Most, but not all, of the images are intricate digital constructs incorporating elements the artist photographed in various geographical locations. Towering giraffes, shot in various U.S. zoos, populate a hazy, desolate landscape created from images taken in Turkey, Bali and Iceland; spectacular Javan peacocks from Asia are camouflaged within a Spanish pepper tree; and the interior of an Icelandic volcano forms the setting for a gooey tar pit where Peruvian yellow-hooded blackbirds nest.
And for good measure, let me throw in my favorite, a pair of taxidermy reindeer/caribou:
Ethically sourced bone and antler carved by Canadian artist Shane Wilson.
Strange skulls
Probably one of my favorite bone hunting finds, was this cow skeleton. All the pieces were partially sunken into the ground. Somehow this half of the rib cage stuck straight out. Almost a foot out of the ground, like an art installation. I seriously must’ve taken 50 pictures from different angles.
