I think this is very wonderful. Death is something we should face in this lifetime and not run away from. I think this girl is doing that, the way she is doing it, is not important to me. This is very strong and I have huge respect for her facing death like this at such a young age instead of escaping it until it’s to late to get in terms with it. I could recommend reading the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying to everyone who is interested in this.

Interesting you guys feel this way, I feel these photos are tastefully done. If you look at her work you can tell she is interested in what most of us consider strange and peculiar, sort of like Diane Arbus. But I think she photographs these in a manner that shouldn’t be looked down upon.

I think this lady is disturbed. There is absolutely nothing of substance in this body of work, no pun intended.

Every photograph tells a story, whether it tells a story about the subject or the photographer is up to the viewer. But we in the first world tend to wrap death up in a nice and tidy little ceremony at the end. In most of the world, death is not so clean, it’s not so wrapped up. In 3rd world countries often the dead are laid out for quite some time before they are buried or cremated or whatever the local custom maybe. I think her objective was to document the very last thing we publicly leave on this earth, the very last physical impact that is going to be seen by anyone. It’s ghastly and horrific, but I can see it her point of view.
