The works follow thematic cycles (for example 'Votive and Honey'), the content of which is predominantly focused on people with their sensitivities and self-image. Among other things, she uses attributes of the forms of expression and communication in Western culture and their iconography .

“The importance of materiality is just as recurring in Katrin Heichel's work, as is her motivic tendency to use popular visual worlds or profane, brittle objects in her pictures. In their synthesis, both levels reveal the underlying purpose of upgrading the aesthetic 'stepchildren' through the sensual surface, so that they appear like treasures. "

- Lu Potemka

While in her earlier works she often instrumentalized the self-portrait as a projection surface, the direct image of the human being has meanwhile given way to the principle of “presence despite absence”. She is currently interested in legacies such as tools, traces of work, what has been worn, left behind, and lost. In this way, the works create a portrait of human plans and faults.
