Temple Of Community: Titled Sembazuru, is a 35 ft rendition of an origami crane. It was built in Santa Rosa, CA by a team of artists that were not builders, contractors, or engineers. On August disassembled and transported to Burning Man. On the Black Rock desert, it was rebuilt and then burned in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, Sept 1, 2008.

The Crane is the Taoist symbol of long life and good fortune for thousands of years. It is a reminder of beauty and peace. Sembazuru means to fold 1,000 origami cranes, then all your wishes and dreams will come true.

On the playa, Sembazuru will be a temple for mourning, reflection and release. Sembazuru symbolized the act of letting go. to It is a celebration of life, death and a starting a new. To making wishes and finding peace together within our community.
