Nothing Gold Can Stay is a celebrated poem by Robert Frost, and serves as the basis for this illustrative narrative. The illustrations act as an extension to the poems focus on nature, by depicting a diversity of floras in various stages of living and dying. The visual interpretation embraces colour, detail and organic shape. Bittersweet themes correspond with the cycles of nature, and to those in our own lives. The illustrative narrative depicts a constant cycle where all good things must come to an end. It acts as a reminder to savour the good, yet be accepting of its passing.
