A single figure occupies the left foreground in profile, while two women are positioned deeper within the interior, aligned along a receding axis. The space extends laterally, with structural elements guiding the eye toward the background.
The image operates through separation of planes. The foreground figure establishes immediate presence, while the distant pair remain contained within a secondary space. The gap between them defines the structure, holding the composition through distance rather than alignment.
This work distinguishes itself through its lateral shift. The subject withdraws from the center, allowing space itself to carry the image and establish relation between figures.
Part of the Caryatis series, a long-term body of work exploring traditional Greek costume through directed portraiture.
