If you hit a rabbit whilst driving you may initially feel a sense of guilt or compassion towards the animal, unlike with the death of a human, this feeling disappears very quickly. I have attempted to freeze this moment of guilt by restoring the animals into humanistic poses through the use of taxidermy. A medium which is more often used to show off trophy killings, I have turned the unwanted kills into prized ones. Creating a tension between the idea of preserving your prized kills and something which was in fact an accidental killing, causing mixed emotions in the viewer.
