The humorous and quirky tale is a fantasy story based on the artist's family and their migration from Greece from an island called Castellorizo, also known as 'the rock' to Canberra. It tells of an aged woman resembling a fish, who is re-united with her family and who bring her to Australia. The story is symbolic representation and interpretation of 'the rock' and the customs of its people.
