Daughter Of Demeter
Multidisciplinary artist Laura Pieri unveils her latest sonic and visual masterpiece with the release of Daughter Of Demeter.
This mesmerizing pop anthem serves as a captivating introduction to Frankie, Pieri’s new EP and accompanying short film. Inspired by the myth of Persephone, the single offers a glimpse into a world of cinematic soundscapes and evocative storytelling.
The accompanying music video reimagines the myth of Persephone through a captivating blend of animation and live action. Pieri’s portrayal of the goddess is a bold and empowering departure from traditional interpretations, presenting Persephone as a strong, independent figure.
I never really understood why I felt so connected to Persephone, the goddess and the myth. In my moments of deep despair, I always found myself calling to her energy. This song, and video, are fantastical versions of what that feels like. They’re also a puzzle piece that fit into a larger picture of the story of a young girl coming to terms with her own self, her story, and who she is.
The story as you know it describes her as a little girl, a victim, helpless in shaping her destiny, an innocent nymph stolen and imprisoned. Is that really how it went down? What if she wanted more than flowers? What if Hades was taken with her ambition? Impressed by her fire? She walks the gardens of Earth and her presence makes flowers bloom, but she skips, carefree, in the Underworld walking amongst the dead. She didn’t wait for anyone to rescue her. She could’ve been just a nymph, forgotten, but not Persephone. In death, she will be your queen. I like to think she giggles when she hears how the souls fear her husband, thinking: it is me who they should fear.
