    About The Artwork

    Referencing the Roman myth of Romulus and Remus, the title ‘Lupae-Lux’ translates as ‘she-wolf light’. This limited edition lamp features a cluster of glass pendants set against striking red hardware. The slightly surreal piece is characteristic of Tai Shani’s practice, which uses layered sculptural elements and figurative motifs to explore feminist narratives across installation, performance and film. Each bulb is hand-blown using traditional methods by a master glass blower, before being assembled by the artist in her London studio.
