Check out seven projects heading off to the playa from this season’s build at The Box Shop!
Inikadowa by Lynn Luzano Bryant is a towering 12-foot bird born from memory and myth, feathered with hundreds of Parol lantern panels — the iconic star of Filipino holiday celebration, reimagined as a symbol of ancestral light and diasporic resilience.
Jen Reed’s Compost Playground is a commentary on food waste featuring an oversized climbable Apple Core Jungle Gym. This burn, the Apple Core gets a new, vibrant skin.
Bobby Johnson’s first art car, Iron Butterfly, features 30’ butterfly wings that provide shade during the day and illuminate at night.
Klajdi Tsano ’s Tokens of Zero depicts the burnt remnants of Sequoia trees and is inspired by nature, transformation, and fire.
Pheobe Leung’s __o__sunny side up mirrors the horizon where sun meets sea, capturing the ephemeral beauty of sunrise and sunset and will feature shifting color patterns at night.
Mojca Pacnik’s HOPE ( Art Lotus Hope ) is a metal lotus flower rising from the desert dust and will be illuminated by night. It was completed at The Box Shop after coming all the way from Slovenia!
Dana Albany ’s newest piece is a female figure crafted out of salvaged materials.
Look out for them on playa - and help us congratulate these hard-working visionaries and their crews in the home stretch of delivering and installing their artworks at Burning Man Project 2026!
