Her work entitled Zoo (2006) Is very interesting

"Zoo follows a young female protagonist as she walks through a deserted zoo, peering at the animals in different enclosures and occasionally photographing them, subtly conveying a sense of independence, intelligence and a mounting state of anxiety. She looks at the animals; they look back, mimicking the situation of a beautiful woman in a male-dominated society."
