βArtist Lydia Kern created a large sculpture in dialogue with the historic Tiffany stained glass windows in St. Paulβs church. The 20-foot tall βEfflorescenceβ is made of hot pink acrylic and hand-sewn pockets of transparent, fluorescent material that contain plants collected in the capital region. While stained glass traditionally casts light onto the interior of holy spaces through religious imagery, βEfflorescenceβ casts colorful light onto Third Street, celebrating and preserving ecological life specific to Troy, located on the traditional lands of the KanienβkehΓ‘ka and Muh-he-con-neok people.β
