The photograph of the dead kangaroo is to Australia’s Black Summer what Napalm Girl was to the Vietnam War. It’s too painful to look at, but you can’t not.
The animal is cartoonish and macabre. Her lips pull back in a grin-grimace. Her forelegs hang over a strand of fencing wire like someone chatting to the neighbour at the garden gate.
Her skin is roasted to a blackened crust, with floral pink flesh bursting through where it has cracked in places. Fatty chest tissue has melted over a wire strand like candle wax, fusing together the organic and the inorganic.
The wire looks untouched.
