The figure descends along a central axis, moving away from the monastery positioned at the highest point. The structure remains fixed above, while the steps establish a direct line between elevation and ground.
The image is defined by transition. The movement downward contrasts with the elevated stillness of the building, holding both positions in a single frame. This shift in direction introduces a controlled tension between departure and origin.
Part of the Ethos series, documenting lived traditions and ritual acts across Greece.
