First and foremost, I'm just Cole. I don't really see myself as anything else. I enjoy playing the saxophone, photographing things that I find interesting, playing Valorant (or any FPS), and watching professional dirtbike racing.
Currently, my favorite thing in the world is understanding how to translate emotions in my everyday life. It's proven to be quite challenging, especially when it involves personal endeavors. However, because of this pursuit, I listen to art attentively. I feel inspired not only to create art but also to share what I've learned with all of you.
Sometimes, a piece of art resonates so much that it affirms your feelings. For me, it allows me to focus on the present and gain a deeper understanding of my emotions, sometimes through words and sometimes without.
Why is this important? There are scientific explanations and you may have your own opinion on it. However, I've discovered that when it comes to each unique individual, emotions become complex. Even for myself, they can lead to a dark place that feels impossible to escape. We've all been there, and it's certainly not enjoyable.
Is there something that connects all of us? Is there a way to bridge the gap and enable effective communication between everyone? I'm not entirely sure, but it's something I'm actively pursuing. Whether it's through improvising music, capturing photos, or conveying lighthearted yet meaningful words of affirmation, my goal is to create something that resonates with everyone in a way that feels authentic to me.
If you've seen my work, all I ask is that you take the time to introspect when you experience it. That is all. I've created this website to exhibit my favorite creations in the form of prints and tote bags! Thanks for visiting, and thank you for your support!
