Documentation for this work states;
“This work depicts a Merman which is completely the product of the artist’s imagination and bears no connection to Yolŋu Law or culture. When asked about the underlying meaning he denied any. He said: “It's just art.” The merman is sitting atop a blue ring octopus which is itself sitting on a rock.”- Year
