Caryatids at rest (Polaroid 1
Oil, acrylic on panel, 2024
104 x 123cm, 41 X 48in
Caryatids were maidens from Caryae, in ancient Sparta, who worshipped the goddess Artemis. Caryatids are also sculpted female figures serving as architectural supports. For example, 6 Caryatids take the place of columns on the south porch of the Erechtheion, on the Acropolis in Athens.
Inspired by a Polaroid from 1975, these figures symbolize the mystery and power that young women possess often without realising it.
