The artwork is a lamp using LEDs, built like a glowing picture frame. The front shows four copies of a plane-filling folding curve on the square grid. Curves like this are generated by folding morphisms. We describe the curve shown using Lindenmayer systems with maps L |--> L+R-L-R-L+R+L-R-L+R and R |--> L-R+L+R-L-R+L+R+L-R and use a rounding parameter of 1/2. The four curves form a tile with two-fold rotational symmetry with the axiom L+R+L+R. The curve at the top and the one at the bottom are omitted, the other two curves are filled with veneer (birch and cherry). The engraving indicates how the curves fill the whole plane.
