most of the images would seem to be photoshopped, which she isn't real explicit about in her artist's statement.
Seeing them at first as captured and real was pretty exciting, a set-up for the disappointment of realizing(? I'm still not exactly clear, this doesn't seem to be real, but there's no captions) they'd been created, rather than found by the camera and the eye. The obvious question, of why it matters, is pretty easily answered - because it does. Not because of some unspoken rule, or the regulations of some official club somewhere, there's no commandment you can turn to and work your way around - it matters that's all.
They're great images, she's a brilliant photographer, but knowing they were built, or that some were and some weren't and she intentionally blurs the line, makes them much less exciting.
The first image linked to though I think may be veracitous.
