Even in his earliest works, Fluvio was prone to wild imaginings. Inspired by the strange and wonderful creatures he would sometimes find washed up on the shore, he sometimes concocted "creatures that could have been or may yet be". In this example, the creature is aided by a "magical light candle" in his quest to find daylight. Fluvio once said about this particular work, "I really hope he finds it".
