Set within a traditional home in Nisyros, this composition is built around a strict frontal alignment, where three figures occupy the space with deliberate stillness. The central figure holds the axis of the image, while the flanking figures reinforce a quiet but rigid balance. In the foreground, framed family photographs introduce a second layer of presence, extending the image beyond the immediate scene and anchoring it within continuity rather than moment.
Part of the Caryatis series, this work is not a depiction of domestic life but a constructed statement on identity and inheritance. Every element is placed, every relationship is controlled. The result is a photograph that does not describe a space, but defines it.
