"The initial idea was to take a photo in the square in front of Brussels South station, but when I got back to my car, I discovered the broken light in the parking lot, which created some very mystical lighting conditions. On the spot, I decided to replace the original concept with a new one, created in my car. It features Siberian model Ekaterina Epifantseva, who occupies the entire space with her strong, confident presence. This contrasts with the fact that the above-ground shooting location is actually a place most women would avoid, as it's a bad neighborhood where women are often harassed. Ekaterina's provocative appearance was a photo opportunity we'd never have been able to pull off on the same site above ground. So it's a contradiction between the same underground location and a location on the surface. In a way, it's also a statement, because we should never accept that women are not safe wherever they are, a situation that has become worse in Brussels and needs to be fought."
