Description:

The figure of a woman is conjured up after going through various successive stages and morphing from one shape into the next, such as that of a bird, a bow, a bilboquet, a flower in a vase, until it vanishes again.

The caption reads in the original French: Il veut la rattraper, il la cherche avec les yeux de l’esprit.
