This new work is part of a series through which Alvaro Barrington celebrates the centrality of music as a constant source of inspiration in his practice. The artist describes the work as the result of his ongoing pursuit to ‘turn physical the music that I love’. Its title references Tupac Shakur’s autobiographical poem ‘The Rose That Grew From Concrete’, which explores the potential for beauty and fragility to arise from harsh surroundings.
