Iconic Rene Magritte picture of "Man in bowler hat" is placed in the focal point, with peaceful attempt to clear his view.
Brussels sprouts are flowering over diamond shaped table covered with clear (unpainted) Belgian linen. Different shapes of beer glasses placed centrally in reference of the centuries old tradition of making countless types of beers (whites, browns, lambics, krieks, faros, ales etc) and paring them with different food. Legendary "Belgian frieten" became a worldwide snack food mistakenly called "French fries" in some countries (USA). Viewer can also see the Liege/Belgian waffles, and box of Belgian chocolate as an alphabetic puzzle. On the right side is the famous hand – the symbol of Antwerp city-center of diamond trade.
