“The foundation should be cast concrete 4 inches 4 beams well secured for maximum bearing capacity
Ground anchor prevent tension”

The sculpture is in white marble and depicts a sh bending backwards into an impossible position. A testament to a time when life required you to bend over backwards and jump through hoops. The text inscribed onto the fish describes how to make a foundation for a house – a metaphor for longing for stability and security.
