Light optically reveals an object but may simultaneously fool the eye tricking the mind of the beholder. “Lucifer” means “light bearer” and entymologically associated with evil Satan implying deception. This Luciferous Ewer consequently conveys both truths, half-truths and outright lies about its making, its materiality, and the human condition in one radiantly coherent formal statement/object.
