Beauty in the Often Overlooked and Frequently Forgotten, this project speaks to the postmortem beauty and educational value of our flora and fauna. Professionally taxidermied animals, personally collected and preserved plant material, and pinned insects all have a clear place in this project. Inspired by one of the many Bible verses that point to human stewardship over the earth and each of God's creatures, this project is a testament to the importance of caring for our resources and utilizing them carefully to educate future generations and appreciate God's unique design and everlasting authority over creation. "But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; and the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea will explain to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this, in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?" Job 12:7-10 NKJV
