ParseSyntaxException while plotting sympy matrix

Question

Here is the code that produces error, I tried different approaches, but they all throw an error:

from sympy import Matrix, latex
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

a = Matrix([1, 2])
plt.plot([0, 0], label=latex(a, mode='inline'))

# also produces error
# plt.plot([0, 0], label=f"${latex(a)}$")
# plt.plot([0, 0], label=fr"${latex(a)}$")

plt.legend()
