Mosaic, Pafos, Cyprus, 2011

Pafos is known for the remarkably well-preserved floors of its Roman villas, which were unearthed after 16 centuries under ground. This one, from the House of Theseus, was partially hidden by the powerful diagonal shadow cast by a viewing platform. It seems to be peering at us from out of the past, seeming both vulnerable and tentative. The detail is amazing – every tile adds meaning to the whole.
