In the parking level of Mons station, a lone figure walks through repeating arches and pools of light, momentarily becoming part of the architecture's rhythm.
This image, captured for my ongoing series Urban Serendipity, reflects how urban design frames movement and shapes the quiet tension between presence and space.
Same place, different presence…Following up on yesterday's capture at Mons station—this time, just one solitary figure moving through the same sharp lines and shifting light. Part of my ongoing project Urban Serendipity, this image explores how individuals navigate the urban jungle, where architecture becomes both backdrop and cage. With only one person in the frame, scale and solitude become even more palpable.
While visiting Mons railway station, I also took a moment to work on my ongoing series: Urban Serendipity.
This project is about capturing fleeting human moments framed by the rigid geometry of cityscapes—where lines, shadows, and structures seem to swallow people whole.
In this shot, two figures cross paths within the station's graphic skeleton, isolated yet connected by movement. It's about the quiet tension between the individual and the urban machine, often revealing a subtle sense of solitude in the middle of all the noise.

The new railway station in Mons has been in the news lately. With all the public criticism, I wanted to see it for myself—and maybe capture a few interesting shots. I spent a few hours there on a quiet Sunday morning exploring and documenting this controversial masterpiece.
Designed by world-renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, the project was supposed to cost €37 million and be completed by 2015. It finally opened in December 2024—nearly ten years late—at a final cost of around €480 million.
That kind of spending has raised eyebrows, especially at a time when Belgium is struggling to fund social security and pensions and meet rising defense targets. NATO's 2% of GDP guideline is already a stretch—some even call for 3 or 5%.
The tension between visionary design and financial reality is hard to miss. Whether admired or questioned, Mons station is definitely one of the boldest (and most debated) public works in the country—and a fascinating subject to photograph.
