L'artiste détourne ici une oeuvre de Georges de la Tour "La Madeleine aux deux flammes" dont il a dénudé partiellement un sein. Un soutien-gorge sert de "vanité" sur le sol à l'avant-plan. Les deux cierges inscrivent dans l'ombre du miroir les mots "Women are srtong as hell". Ce slogan, souvent repris par les mouvements féministes américains, est issu de la série "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt". Sur la robe sont brodés des reproductions du symbole utilisé publiquement la première fois en 1968 lors d'une manifestation féministe contre l'élection de Miss America.

Hommage au combat des femmes, ces quelques mots de l'artiste :

"Unbreakable women
Là, des femmes plus fortes que l’enfer brûlent les faux dieux.
Là, elles enlèvent aux ogres leur chasuble perverse.
Là, au coeur de la Tour, deux flammes révèlent enfin l’inaltérable naissance des cieux.
Incassable cristal."
