Little Chapel Compositions
'Little Chapel Compositions' is an ongoing series of images that started in the summer of 2013 on the island of Leros in Greece. I've always enjoyed the presence of sacredness of these sites, often built at the ruins of ancient temples in remote places on the edges of the island. The simplicity of the architecture of the little chapels is a humble manifestation of love for the divine, usually built and looked after by devotees, as an offering to God. In this series, the focus is on minimum units of matter, structural elements, textures, and details.
