INCARNATION

Wcielenie

Blood, dirt and flies above a dying corpse create a frightening atmosphere of decomposition. A short story of life and death takes place in this naturalistic, disgusting scenery. The mutual influence of these two phenomena is unavoidable, just like a correlation between a man and nature. Yet, someone will have to lose in this struggle for balance in nature.
