Arms rise in unison, cutting through the frame at varying angles. The figures disperse across the foreground, while Agia Lavra Monastery remains fixed behind them, creating a split between movement and structure.
The image builds through repetition of gesture rather than alignment. Each action mirrors the next without resolving into symmetry. Smoke interrupts the continuity, fragmenting the space and holding the moment in suspension.
Part of the Ethos series, documenting lived traditions and ritual acts across Greece.
