Based on that Scoppola has named many of his fish sculptures through a play with the Swedish language (with some paraphrasing of the Swedish vowels å, ä and ö) combined with characteristics in the different sculpture bodies such as shape, color settings, expressions, or elements from the creating process, Arafisk has received its name from its paddle-like fish tail:
”Arafisk is in search of a middle state between flexibility of life - like in a fish tail - and stiffness of human manufacts - like in a paddle.”
