'Impermanence invites viewers to embrace the unknown and the ever-shifting nature of being human. Departing from the vibrant colors of her underwater work, these black-and-white photographs - shot with a 1950s camera on traditional film - feature anonymous, sheer figures that feel both expressive and elusive. By leaving the film edges intact, Cole emphasizes the tactile quality of the prints and opens a window into a world where unpredictability sparks endless possibility.

The images are never static. As viewers linger, new perspectives and hidden details emerge, revealing a dreamlike sense of movement. Ephemeral and poetic, each photograph captures a longing for what was and what could be, inhabiting a timeless space where identity is always in flux' - Barbara Cole
