Katie Cole's works engage in the exploration of shared human experience has been the underlying subject of my work since the beginning. These experiences include tragedies, loss, health problems, relationships, and joy. They are the universal and relatable experiences that define who we are. The work is an attempt to hold on to those moments. They are memories, the kind you force yourself to think about—a sentimental longing or reflection of the past. Nothing is lost forever, but today is already gone. We are permanently tethered to the past and what we have left behind. Its artifacts within these memories remain the subject of my work. An object to recall the past- an encompassing sense of nostalgia
