𖤓| THEME
Goldenrod explores the transition period between late summer and early autumn. It is the last light of summer caught in the grass, blooming at a quiet turn as it holds onto warmth as the season fades.
We encourage you to explore the following:
How do we know when something has truly ended? What do seasons teach us about learning to let go? Even as the air turns cold, how does warmth stay with us? What's left after the brightest days have passed?
