Five figures hold a tight formation at the front of the Spetses vessel, compressed into a shallow depth where separation is reduced to the minimum. The alignment is direct, yet not fully resolved, maintaining slight shifts that prevent complete symmetry.
This compression intensifies presence. The figures operate as a single frontal structure, with the surrounding sea opening behind them, creating a controlled opposition between density and expansion.
Part of the Caryatis series, a long-term body of work exploring traditional Greek costume through directed portraiture.
