The composition evokes the natural movement of a school of fish, creating both scientific and aesthetic appeal. The piece is mounted on a cleat system for secure and convenient wall installation, allowing it to function as both a decorative artwork and a geological record of life from the Eocene Epoch, approximately 51 million years ago.
