Plumbing repairs can be artful.

Plumbing can be an art form.
It's not often that I come across a true work of art like this one.
I'm not sure what the artist is expressing but I'm sure there is deep meaning in his work. [I am certain it was a man; women like to work with other mediums; they don't work well with urea-formaldehyde foam and old T-shirts.]
Perhaps mice were coming through the wall or he was stopping a draft.
