Description

This is an 8' x 30' mural I did for Burning Man. It was located at Essence camp, at 7:15 and D.
I was going for a vibrant biomimicry-inspired city. (If you look closely, the "flower" Is made of many little "floors.") The idea was something that different subgroups from the Burner community could resonate with. Some of them very reverent of nature/spirituality, and other ones "techno/futurists" - so some kind of fanciful, high tech city modeled after nature seemed to be a way to unite those two forces, done so in a really celebratory way (BM is kind of a big party in many ways, after all.) Also, the whole city is "gridded" out as a flower of life, with the elevated transportation also mirroring the same layout.
Funny story: the initial specs were going to be 10' x 30' and it got changed to 8' at the last minute. It looked bad cropped so I decided to try to quickly extend it instead, by flipping each end and then breaking up the symmetry with floating stuff. It ended up looking a lot trippier this way.
