When the last pit closes, nature remains

I took, as the basis of my drawing, the poem 'The Explosion' by Philip Larkin. It is a reminder to me that, whatever resources are sucked or hammered out of this earth, nature will always carry on. In the symbolic nature of the poem and reflected in my drawing, nature is represented by a nest of lark's eggs.
