“...a poem, a diary exploring grief and belief and the unknown. The images are sometimes mysterious, sometimes frightening, sometimes whimsical, but there is always a feeling that the images contain more.”,
- Photographer's Forum, Winter 2018
“Diener explores and interprets the possibilities through her photography using various techniques such as suggestive aberrations and double exposures which draw on an expansive history of photographers who have experimented with the medium’s unique relationship with the concept of truth.”,
