"NOTHING IS FOREVER" is a 2010 artwork by Nigerian-British artist Yinka Shonibare. The piece is a large-scale mural, covering the facade of an apartment building, and features a colorful repeating pattern of circles, inspired by Dutch wax-print fabrics. This vibrant pattern is a recurring motif in Shonibare's work, symbolizing the complexities of colonialism and globalization. The work is a commentary on the impermanence of human constructions, using an everyday urban building as a canvas.
