The painting was made mainly with grey and white acrylics, and fluorescent acrylics visible only with black light. It is coated by light layers of bituminous paint and charcoal. A traditional hanukkiah is depicted with the shamash placed in the center. This lights up only by switching on the black light placed in front of the artwork. This piece, essential and minimalist, aims to give the viewer a poetic vision of the whole, where light, featured in multiple aspects, is the dominant element.
