Bby Eco - Earth-conscious pop
“Joris Benjamins, aka Bby Eco, is an Amsterdam based visual artist and recording musician bringing a whole new spirit to ‘earth conscious’ tracks. He recently debuted his new album titled Grow!, which embodies many facets of his personal anecdotes, as well as professional inspirations. It is a harmonious space between tension and tenderness which portrays a profound connection between nature in opposition to music. Bby Eco utilises the wonder of nature as a metaphor and source of energy, funnelling it into something which you can call ‘eco-pop,' bestowing a world into being, sentiment to bloom and serves as a catalyst for an ever-expanding metamorphosis.”
Lisa Sorgini, Motherhood
“Sorgini's infatuation with motherhood and home life began after her child, Ari was born. Documenting the emotional and intellectual transformation that motherhood prompted for her–the intricate dimensions of intimacy. Trancending Lisa to a heightened sensory experience of living off little to no sleep–ultimately led her to step out of her own life as a mother to begin photographing the lives of other family units. Her images display the most tender and fleeting moments of motherhood, rarely show specific identities. Tiny hands gripping at clothing and skin. A delicate assemblage of flesh set against the backdrop of quiet familiarity. Depicting the tension between the overwhelm and the mundanity of these early experiences of motherhood–love and affection, intensity and neediness, claustrophobia and inescapability.”
