I don't know you but I love you

2023.001.01a: Lampshade
Cone-like shape with an open top and bottom end. The outside of the lampshade has cream paper glued on around the whole object. The paper has small holes punched in, creating the shape of a person sitting wearing a straitjacket with an object beside. The inside of the lampshade has some clear tape along the top rim. Stemming from the top rim, are two pairs of metal rods across from each other. The pairs of silver metal rods point down and they meet to create a triangle shape. The pairs connect via a metal clip and they create two circles below the clip. On the inside directly behind the image of the woman is a piece of tape which has attached four pieces of white ribbon. Around the whole inside, writing is visible between the layer of the lampshade and the paper.

2023.001.01b: Table Lamp
The base of the table lamp is a white ceramic base which resembles a pinecone – there are four rows of “petals” and at the top of the pinecone are vertical lines. The bottom of the base has a large circular hole and the inside is hollow. Above the ceramic base, there is a cylindrical silver metal piece attached to the top of the base. The metal piece has one smaller circular part with a larger part attached on top. The upper part has an horizontal black plastic cylinder about one-third from the bottom which extends through the centre of the cylinder and out the opposite side. The top of the upper metal piece is partly hollow (up until just above the black plastic piece) with circular ridges going around multiple times. At the bottom of the ceramic base, coming out of a circular hole on one side is a yellowish-white power cord. It runs from the bottom of the metal piece and through the hollow ceramic base before exiting. The power cord looks like it has two attached rods and at the end is a rounded flat triangle piece with two rectangular gold pieces sticking out.
