Maria's mirror

Maria’s submission is a concave mirror which magnifies the viewer’s face by a factor of ten.

She explains that the life-changing part comes from seeing your own face in such high definition, magnifying all of your flaws.

She notes that the task brief didn’t indicate that the prize had to change the winner’s life for the better.

Atle awards her three points, but refuses to take a look in the mirror himself.
