On Photography and Image Making
“My aim is not to replicate the world through the camera lens. Instead, I perceive myself as a collector and assembler of images. I use photography to capture pieces (or essences) of the world and incorporate them into my own creative imaginings, transforming their meaning in the process. The more abstracted images I create are photographically grounded in reality but 
amorphous in meaning, allowing a more poetic interpretation.
Light transferred onto film has the ability to re-create the visual essence of something, even if the image is de-contextualized, abstracted, or blurry. For me, this essence holds an indescribable beauty and experience of the world.”
Tatiana Diakoff, 2012
