It's art, after all..
Maybe the huge pile of rope is part of the art? Like the threads of
life that the 3 fates decide to cut. Or if the rope/thread gets tangled

There is a mention in the write up of the whole order out of chaos
thing, too.
The artist has some other interesting things.. the "dot matrix" graffiti
printer, for instance.
