The Lady wears the 'Gravensteen' (medieval castle that still stands in the city of Ghent) as if it's a crown.
She wears it on her gigantic hairdo that makes us think of the world itself.
The Castle has been a residence of Counts, cotton mill, medieval reinforcement, to the imposing castle, symbol of power that it was, to tourist attraction which takes many back to their childhood when we where pretending to be knights and princesses...
The Castle had a turbulent history of construction, decay and revaluation. Kind of like many artists live, or for what matters, everyones life...
