Surrealism is an artistic and literary movement that emerged in France from Dadaism in the 1920s, centering around the personality of the poet André Breton. The father of the movement explained that “the unconscious is the region of the intellect where the human being does not objectify reality but becomes one with it. Art, in that sphere, is not representation but direct vital communication of the individual with the whole.".

This connection was expressed by Breton's supporters such as Buñuel, Dalí, Max Ernst, and Yves Tanguy, who brought to life a movement that quickly spread throughout different countries in Europe, the US, and Asia. Magritte, Masson, and Giacometti, among others, would join them later. And to this day, it remains alive thanks to figures like David Delfín through his Ants print.

Ants, as a symbology connected to the surrealist movement, have been used since the beginning of the davidelfin brand, and more specifically in the Cour des Miracles collection, where they are sprinkled as a detail on hands, waists, and feet. It is also a reference for the firm, due to its connection with the idea of industriousness and teamwork, values that have inspired the designer's ethos.

This design is a reference to the film *Un Chien Andalou*, a surrealist masterpiece that was constructed from two dreams: the first, by Buñuel, the scene of the eye and the razor blade; the second, by Dalí, the ants emerging from the palm of the hand.
