i mean it's "art" so there are some allowances. personal experience and symbolism and direct reference. as for the biltmore it looks more like an underground water entrance/mooring lines. i mean it's in the middle of nowhere NC so it doesn't apply but maybe, i dunno, harkening back to something and also having a devious use. also let's not forget that some of the pleasure of doing vile things may come from putting it right in everyones faces
