A veiled figure stands forward, fully enclosing the face and upper body, while two figures remain visible behind on either side. The central presence interrupts the frame, shifting the point of attention from visibility to concealment.
The image holds through this obstruction. The veil acts as a barrier rather than a detail, flattening the central figure while the flanking figures reintroduce structure and clarity. What would typically define identity is withheld, forcing the composition to rely on placement and contrast.
Part of the Caryatis series, a long-term body of work exploring traditional Greek costume through directed portraiture.
