A seated figure is held within a field of suspended and stacked cages. Positioned slightly off-center, she anchors the frame while the surrounding structures accumulate around her at varying heights.
The image operates through containment and proximity. The cages do not enclose the figure directly, yet they define the limits of the space around her. Their repetition builds pressure across the frame, while her stillness resists it.
Part of the Caryatis series, a long-term body of work exploring traditional Greek costume through directed portraiture.
