The halcyon days represent, in Greek mythology, the days in December around the winter solstice when the sea is said to be completely calm. During this time, kingfishers would build their nests on the sea, which would remain still until the young had hatched.

Through the mirrored projection, a space is created in which the tiny creatures gently drift, as if carried by a barely perceptible flow.
