The artist's text enclosed: “Nu ved jeg ikke hvad Sven har tænkt med sin vandhane, men jeg kommer til at tænke på vand, som et det grundlæggende for alt kendt liv, incl. vores. Det ser ud som om vand bliver en mere og mere knap ressource og noget vi skal passe rigtig godt på. Så derfor har jeg bygget en flightcase, som kan passe på de kostbare dråber”.

(I don't know Sven's thoughts about his faucet, but I come to think of water as a fundamental for all known life, incl. our own. It looks as if water becomes an increasingly scarce resource and something we should take good care of. So I built a flight case that can protect the precious drops).
