A rusty "work of art"?

Not sure what to make of this structure that's appeared where an old derelict boat used to be. It looks rather phallic and the tin cans, rusty chain, and especially the candle are odd! 
It was very frosty this morning and we had snow/rain showers in the forecast. Thankfully we only had a bit of rain. Our daughter had snow at their place, and from the short video she sent, it looked like it was sticking.
