Echo Beach

"Echo Beach" is the name borrowed from the name of a popular song by the Canadian band Martha and the Muffins. Echo Beach does not refer to an actual beach but is instead a symbolic concept representing a place the “I” character wants to be instead of where they are, somewhere “far away in time.” Similarly, Tom Hricko’s "Echo Beach" uses familiar scenes belonging to the beach in Vũng Tàu where he lived then, and combined with changes in color saturation and hue, as well as based on the fact that this beach, which is usually crowded with people, is almost entirely empty in his work. "Echo Beach" continues to describe something we can recognize but not something we already knew.
