In this painting, Šalčiūtė portrays a ballerina shooting up like a rocket. The flying women is also giving birth, joined to tiny astronauts by an umbilical cord. Šalčiūtė depicts a woman viewed as perfect by our society, able to balance her professional career with motherhood. Still, by depicting this woman with a nimbus around her head and light beams emanating from her eyes and breasts, Šalčiūtė also deploys irony, suggesting that such a woman likely belongs to a mythical world, not a real one.
