Are the lights really made from old WWII tank parts?
Yes, the triangular lenses on the lights are actually recycled WWII tank periscope prisms. We had them roughly sandblasted so that they would diffuse the LED lights. Each prism is lit by 6 modern high-intensity LEDS — three on each end. Almost 3000 LEDs total! The aluminum frames that hold the prisms and LEDS in place were designed by us and fabricated for this sculpture.
