Hagoromo (The Robe of Feathers) - A celestial maiden’s tale of love, loss, and the link between heaven and earth.
This ancient legend tells of a heavenly maiden who descends to Earth to bathe, leaving her feather robe on the shore — only to have it taken by a fisherman who falls in love with her. In Dalí’s image, the tension between earthly desire and divine freedom is rendered through weightless, flowing lines that suggest both the robe’s texture and the fragility of love. The work’s ethereal atmosphere reflects Dalí’s fascination with transformation and transcendence — the moment where mortal and divine touch briefly before parting.
