Bones...
Can be human or animal.
Can be an entire skeleton or only a section.
You can do a detailed study of one piece with a simple background.
You can insert the bone in a still life.
Consider juxtaposition of objects that don’t typically go together.
Consider what the bones represent... death? Building blocks of bodies? Fear?
