The work consists of the drawings of three different lamps, framed and placed side by side. The first lamp is made of marble with a rough base from which nine progressively carved and polished pipes project. The second, made of copper, is shaped like an inverted V with nine cavities on the spine to house the flames. The third is a terracotta sheet, positioned like an open book, on top of which openings and holes form the classic shape of the menorah. The study investigates how the formless comes into form, as a figurative reminiscence of the menorah itself, alluding, according to the meaning of the holiday, to the reopening of the Temple and Jewish life, rebuilt on the barbarism of foreign domination.
