The Lady and the Unicorn is a 15th Century Flemish tapestry, often said to be one of the greatest works of medieval European art. Artist Joey Syta copied the work in Lite Brite — an illuminated toy popular in the United States since its introduction in the 1960s. It’s called My Only Desire and is composed of 55,000 pegs.

Now I want my Lite Brite back. Interesting how he had to make it a parallelogram to keep the diagonals copacetic.

There are only about 36 bulbs in that installation. Of course you mean “55,000 pegs”.
