He says this about the photo taken in May 2025 at CCE Hall:

“The very idea of this photograph is due to the fact that this place is very overwhelmed. I was running away from this hustle and bustle and I saw a photographer who almost ritualized the unfolding of this background. When he sat down with the newspaper, I didn’t want to disturb him. I felt like this photographer – when it’s not about the effect, but about the process of ritualizing photography.”
