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 his signature upturned mustache and a soft cap, the artist leans forward, using a magnifying glass to examine a dark, wet surface dotted with white splashes. For this experiment, he uses the milk and water seen in glasses on the cluttered table, which is also set with the inspirational sea urchins—one spiky and dark, the other a bare, white shell.
