The SOMA Lanterns live on the facade of a Mercy Housing building, and span from the 2nd to 7th floors. They are made from aluminum and powder coated, with frosted acrylic behind the artwork cutouts. Installation required two articulated boom lifts to operate together to rig, hoist, place, and secure each lantern to the facade.
