I am very happy with how the rotting elements of the photos have a somewhat painterly quality. I recently was in Dresden and got to see Otto Dix's triptych "Der Kreig". I think one of the most significant aspects of his work is his ability to aestheticize carnage. Parts of that painting is masses of torn bodies, the materiality of the paint used to represent the melting and mashed flesh.
