A seated figure holds the foreground while objects anchor the space around her. The gramophone extends laterally, countered by the portrait above, forming a measured imbalance within the frame.
The image operates through displacement. Elements carry different temporal weight, yet remain fixed within a single interior. The work holds this tension without resolution, allowing past and present to exist side by side without hierarchy.
Part of the Caryatis series, a long-term body of work exploring traditional Greek costume through directed portraiture.
