"Excerpts from Ms. Tilda’s diary vol. 1" is presented as a fictional archive, assembled from images and texts that feel at once intimate and estranged. Horses, gates, gravestones, and desert fields - shot with a glaring flash and digitally transformed - dissolve into a dreamlike palette of pink gradients, inverted skies, and 8-bit textures. Works such as Gate 1 and "Dear Door <3" stand like threshold icons, while "My Horse Distrusts You", "Horses Grow in Love", and "Horses Love Here" turn the horse into a symbol of distance, kitsch affection, and coded memory. "5 Miles from Here” and "Miles Died in This Meadow" read as ghost-markers, mournful signposts in a world where fact and fiction collapse.
The series performs the role of a digital archaeologist, where preservation and invention blur. These images behave like relics scraped from a vanished web, yet their distortions are deliberate - evidence of a world built on the tension between sincerity and absurdity, memory and fabrication.
The following photographs were recovered from a now-defunct personal website once used as a diary by the largely forgotten author known as Ms. Tilda. While the images have been carefully preserved to remain as true to the originals as possible, subtle alterations were necessary in the process of archival reconstruction.
