Bog Bodies & Other Macabre Miniatures

In Northern Europe it is not uncommon to find naturally mummified remains of ancient people in peat bogs, which perfectly preserve bodies in an oxygen deficient environment. Often forensics experts will think they have encountered a crime scene, only to realize these individuals have been deceased for thousands of years. All of these bodies have a different story to tell and each of these miniatures explores the emotions and experiences of their final moments alive through a mixture of both fact and fantasy.
