Photographed in Volax, Drama, this image is part of the Caryatis series.
A woman stands inside an interior space, positioned centrally within the frame. She holds a clay vessel at shoulder height.
The composition is defined by the structure of the room. A wooden door is placed on the left, while a bed occupies the right side of the frame.
The figure stands between these elements, establishing balance within the space.
The body is static and frontal. The gaze is directed toward the viewer.
The traditional costume of Volax is rendered with clarity, emphasizing its structure, texture, and ornamentation.
Behind the figure, a Greek flag is positioned diagonally, introducing a directional element within the composition.
The wall surface shows visible wear and cracks, adding texture to the background.
Objects within the frame—the vessel, the flag, the furniture—are integrated into the composition as structural elements.
Part of the Caryatis series, a long-term body of work consisting of staged portraits of women in traditional Greek attire.
