In your snippet I can see a whole art work.

Richard Serra the sculptor tells a story of how, when he was a  
rambunctious young man, his father would punish him by making him  
move a huge pile of dirt by hand from one location of their back lot  
to another location. When he was done, he and his father had an  
aesthetic discussion about it's location. If they agreed the pile was  
in the right place he was finished his task. If not he would move the  
pile to the agreed properly aesthetic position.
