Description:	'(…)She uses photography as a way to question rather than represent reality (…) She has taken a detail shot of a model Trident submarine the scale of which is 1:350. The detail is then enlarged x 350 to return it to its 'real' proportions. The image is of course blurred and unreadable in its new life-size dimensions.'
