In this photograph Nix has utilized table-top photography in order to create an image that looks as though it has been edited in a surreal manner but it is in fact a miniature set created by the artist. Nix creates these scenes by hand to replicate a real life setting. By incorporating the hand reaching into the scene she has given a surrealistic sense to the image while also giving us an
idea of the scale to which the scene was built. As far as quality of the actual miniatures that she has created it is in the style of an old run down beauty salon and she has used various techniques to give the impression of dirt and grime throughout the piece. This creates a very unique effect and also feeds the idea that this could actually be the inside of a run down salon somewhere in the world. The immaculate attention to detail that she has completely pays off in the final composition of this scene.
