Lisa Streich: Lupinen

für Gitarrenquartett

Lupins cover entire swathes of land in Sweden in places and are an invasive species that displaces other smaller meadow flowers, thus stifling other growth.

 

The contrast between an indescribable variety of colours and beauty and the simultaneous malice and concern they cause initially fascinated me. The piece reflects superficial beauty with hidden inner turmoil. Not everything is as it seems. An allegory for our everyday lives, which are surrounded by seemingly perfect beauty.
