I have never attended Burning Man and probably never will, but have enjoyed recycled art works from the annual festival in San Francisco, where they have appeared as temporary installations over the last two decades.
Last month a 100-foot-long sea serpent sculpture called
Naga arrived in the city after its 2024 Burning Man debut.
The sculpture by metal artist Cjay Roughgarden and an army of volunteers was installed at Rainbow Falls Pond on JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park.
Though it's only scheduled to stay there for a year, the hope is that
Naga will become permanent in that perfect location if the public responds well.
I hope the piece remains there forever, blowing bubbles out of its nostrils and lighting up from within during the night.
