    About The Artwork

    Lupae-Lux is an industrial rococo lamp named ‘she wolf light’, in reference to sculpture of the wolf that suckles the twins Remus and Romulus, the twins were a later medieval addition to the famous statue. A French edition poster for Fellini’s Roma depicts a woman in the same pose as the wolf with multiple breasts, the tagline is “Rome is a beautiful place to wait for the end of the world”. Each light is assembled by the artist using glass breasts, hand-blown by a master glass blower.
