Photographed in Lefki, Kozani, this image is part of the Caryatis series.
The subject is seated centrally, positioned directly in front of a wooden doorway.
She wears the traditional rural costume of the Kozani region, defined by layered garments and structured forms.
The composition is built around vertical alignment.
The doorway behind the subject reinforces the central axis, anchoring the figure within the frame.
To the left, a small window introduces a concentrated light source.
Light falls across the subject’s face and upper body, while the surrounding space remains in shadow.
This creates a strong separation between subject and environment.
The interior is defined by raw materials — stone walls, wooden surfaces, and scattered elements on the ground.
These elements remain secondary, supporting the structure without competing with the subject.
The tonal range is compressed, with emphasis placed on contrast between illuminated surfaces and deep shadow.
The image focuses on stillness, structure, and material presence.
Part of the Caryatis series, a long-term body of work exploring traditional female costumes across Greece through staged portraiture.
