Burning Man

Burning Man is more of a community rather than a group. Every year, thousands of people gather together to create a work of art or a show. These shows are all about bringing many peoples ideas together to make one work of art. These pieces are very elaborate and very creative and are usually created around a predetermined theme. The theme in this picture below seems to be death.

This particular piece is called " The Bone Tower." It consists of (yes you guessed it) lots of bones that are fastened to a metal frame. These were made of various types of animal bones from different animals. The Bone Tower looks more like a gateway to me. It makes me think of death and how every creature eventually dies, leaving only bones remaining.  It is as if the gateway is all the dead animals, crying out for us to join them.
