Travelers are often desensitized to the animals that perish on our roadways, even though they cause more deaths than poachers, deforestation, or pollution. Motorists fly by lifeless animals without batting an eye. Are their lives less worthy because they’re seen as diseased scavengers or dirty? The purpose of this series is to call into question an individual’s definition of life and worthiness through the model of roadkill. Animals often seen as unwelcome are given a reinvented composition to be remembered. My tribute to animals in Roadkill in Memorial evokes empathy and compassion in viewers.
