Artwork: Roses that Grew From Concrete, Black Lives Matter, All Lives Matter

. Posted by Sherrie Thai by Shaireproductions.com .

This “Roses That Grew From Concrete” art piece is inspired by Tupac’s poems, with the core theme of resiliency through adversity. That adversity is systemic racism and prejudice plaguing the black communities and people of color. Without (peaceful) protest and recognition for change to the inequalities, there will be no progress. Silence is complacency and we must continue to move forward through dialogue, revised systems, changed mindsets and most of all, love and community. In Gandi’s words, “be the change you want to see in the world”. Black lives matter. All lives matter.
