Beauty within a setting of beauty. Hard edged patterns and unyielding ancient minerals in stark contrast with soft and fluid human skin and fabric. The girl’s fabulously even nose in sympathy with the contours of carved stone on the recessed seat. Her gaze averted from the lens - an open acknowledgement that this is not just about her. Yet the depth is judged so sensitively that the casual viewer might initially suppose that she is indeed the only focus. Look at the way her hair is scraped back in imitation of the way the mason once tamed the ancient stone and fashioned it to his design. Contrast the shadow on the wall with the fabric of her blouse tied tight and suspended perpendicularly. This is geometry in action; a triumph, a masterpiece. Breathtaking.
