This year’s 'Waking Dreams' iteration of the Burning Man had a lot to live up to, with nearly four decades of history. This is the 37th effigy since the very first man was burned in 1986.
Inspiration for the 2022 structure was drawn from a quote by 4th century BC Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zi, according to an“I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?” the quote says.
One side of the structure of a man which faces the makeshift city had ornaments that reflect sleeping, while the desert-facing side reflects waking, Muszalski said on Instagram. The neon green statue had five glowing discs that depict different phases of the moon to “represent sleeping dreams” and “the deep waters of the unconscious realm.” An ornament depicting a butterfly taking flight was just below the collarbone.
