Orlik fabricates a beautiful serene dream-image of a flying elongated swallow-like bird which moves with the grace, fluidity and undulating motion of a dolphin-like creature. It has soft pink, almost luminous, underbelly just visible underneath its smooth brown upper body. On its back it cradles six white objects like morphic eggs, baby-grubs or chrysalis waiting to hatch, which together create a circular nest with one shape in the centre which the others curve around and nestle into, shaped like a round flower-head with five plump petals and a central oval disc. The fish-bird soars above a patchwork of orange, lilac and green cloud-like structures which appear in a grid below, like islands in a white sea.
