Photographed in Lefki, Kozani, this image is part of the Caryatis series.
Three subjects are arranged across depth within a narrow interior space.
In the foreground, a figure is positioned in profile, occupying the left side of the frame.
Two additional figures are placed deeper in the space, one seated and one standing, aligned along the central axis.
All subjects wear the traditional rural costume of the Kozani region, defined by layered garments and structured forms.
The composition is built through depth and spatial compression.
A dividing wall separates foreground from background, creating distinct planes within the image.
Light enters from the right side through a window, illuminating the two figures in the background while leaving the foreground figure partially in shadow.
This creates a gradient of light across the frame.
The walls and surfaces are textured and deteriorated, reinforcing the material quality of the space.
Straw on the floor introduces an additional layer of texture and anchors the scene.
The image emphasizes structure, layering, and the relationship between figures within space.
Part of the Caryatis series, a long-term body of work exploring traditional female costumes across Greece through staged portraiture.
