"Decompression NYC 2022 Effigy", Mixed media, 17' x 5'.

An effigy that was created for the official Burning Man regional event "Decompression NYC 2022".

The comments posted for the community after the event;
"It was only two weeks ago that we were asked about an effigy. To create 17 feet of art in two weeks was challenging, but we are relieved to have done it.
Our (artistic) goal was to make connections, to make people feel connected.
Your active "participation" made it possible; we attached a total of 24 strings from the Man and asked everyone to pull them. We had 80 confetti poppers. Raise his arms by pulling the strings, and blowing the confetti with the leaf blowers. Great performances, MC, lighting, and projection made the moment a lot of fun.
If the "moment" made you remember the connections you experienced at Playa, or if you went to Playa for the first time and discovered that there is such a great community in NYC, then we have accomplished our goal."
