The title of this sculpture is taken from William Soutar's poem, 'The River'. It represents a cubic metre of water from the River Tay and in it a swimming Goldeneye searching for molluscs. This sculpture tries to create an underwater scene that emphasises three-dimensionality. The Tay is the most powerful river in Britain with more water flowing through Perth than the Thames and Severn combined.
