I think that the work of Sandy Skoglund is absolutely incredible. The time and effort that she puts into her installations, I mean the absolute precision that it must take to get everything exactly how she wants it to be is really, truly incredible. I like different elements about these two photographs, but the goldfish is certainly my favorite of the two. If you have never seen any work by Sandy Skoglund, I highly recommend you look her up.
