At his home in Portlligat, Cadaqués, in 1957, Salvador Dalí demonstrates the origin of the "oursin," a liquid designed to take on a particular form. Wearing a soft, tall hat and an ornate shirt, he leans over a table, holding a magnifying glass and a small brush. His materials—milk and water—sit in glasses next to several sea urchins and a wet-looking print. In the background, a display board showing a sea urchin fossil reveals the inspiration for his experiment.
