Le Burning Man est toujours l'occasion d'admirer des sculptures monumentales époustouflantes. Kate Raudenbush (l'arbre en métal) participe souvent au festival. Every year at the Burning Man, Artists are creating amazing sculptures. My favorite artist is Kate Raudenbush (the metal tree).

It was a project almost 12 months in the making - a 72-foot wooden sculpture of two people lovingly looking into each other, built to make people 'consider why death is so challenging and why it’s also so beautiful'.
