Collection: Concrete Series: The Rose that grew from concrete

As an artist goes through life, changes, and growth their art goes through the motions with them. Sometimes they never create the art they created once before. My art has taken a change, slightly, it's created with a different mindset. Made with different intentions.

"Did you hear about the Rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Provin nature's laws wrong it learned how to walk without having feet. Funny it seems but, by keeping its dreams it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the Rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared. No one else cared the rose that grew from concrete." 

-Nikki Giovanni

"You see you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had damaged petals. On the contrary we would all celebrate its tenacity. We all love its will to reach the sun. Well, we are the rose - this is the concrete - and these are my damaged petals. Don't ask me why thank god ***, ask me how!"

-Tupac Amaru Shakur
