At his home in Portlligat, Cadaqués in 1957, Salvador Dalí demonstrates the origin of the "oursin" to his Canadian painter friend Philips. Wearing a distinctive patterned shirt and a soft hat, Dalí leans over a table, pointing with his index finger at a dark surface while holding a small tool in his other hand. Philips watches in profile with keen interest as Dalí uses milk and water to create a particular form. Spiky sea urchins and a glass containing the milky liquid rest on the table between them.
