The tip of the iceberg of a beautiful, and as always, intense burn, my 7th. It was a dusty, rainy year and expectedly, many things went wrong. But I missed this place and I was here for it. Burning man is what you make it, choose your own adventure, & isn’t for everyone. If you reject the experience, it will chew you up and spit you right back out, but when you learn to embrace and surrender, that’s when the real magick & beauty of this temporary capsule of a city shine through. “It’s a playa miracle!” 🌈🃏🦓
Thank you @adrianthephotographer for being part of my journey, silly rainy mud mornings, for the reminders & lessons in presence, helping me unlearn fomo, and for these gems of photos. 🫶🏼🃏✨

Today I got to see the pottery we made @makerhouse.sb. Throwing on the wheel was an incredible throw back to my college days and the best way to celebrate my birthday. After we selected glazes and the pieces dried, the team fired them. These pieces are so special! #pottery

Santa Barbara Public Mural Project

This community-driven art project first began in 2015 and it's amazing to see it come back to life. Shoutout to my friends @rodriguezartt, @davidjdiamant, @makingartinthedark , and especially @dannymezaart and Metro (RIP both) for their incredible art work.

If I'm missing any tags or info about the project or artists, incorrect spelling, please let me know. My apologies in advance and thank you.
