Immersive Technologies
Cultural Unity
The art car "Tree of Life", debuting at Burning Man 2026, is a symbol of cultural unity, rebirth, and self-discovery. Crafted from steel, aluminum, and fiberglass, and brought to life through immersive light and multimedia, this monument invites you on a journey filled with connection and wonder.
Inspired by the ancient Tree of Life symbol, the project bridges the spiritual, material, and natural worlds. It connects generations, reflecting our role — to embody dreams, to pass on love, and to believe in ourselves. We are the masculine and feminine principles, united in harmony as part of an eternal cycle.

Two intertwined trunks, covered with snake-like skin instead of bark, resembling a DNA strand. They branch into 24 limbs and end with masculine heads from which flames burst forth.

Ray of Ascension
A spiraling “Stairway to Heaven” made of DNA rungs pulses with light and culminates in a beam ascending from a golden chalice held by two entwined snakes. This image symbolizes the phallic principle.

Dragon’s Eye
At the base of the tree lies the “Portal of Rebirth” shaped like a female womb with a dial-like rim reflecting the “Hero’s Journey.” It is wrapped by an ouroboros, whose scales conceal vulvas with a dragon’s eye.

Balance of Masculine and Feminine
On either side of the portal stand nude figures of Kari (female and male), holding a cornice-DJ table and energy towers. Behind their facades are slits shaped like the four elements.

Dance Floors
Behind the portal are staircases leading to the masculine and feminine dance floor-heads, which from the front resemble skulls. Inside their open lids are sound systems and screens with projections.

DJ Pedestal
A ceremonial DJ pedestal from which the Tree of Life grows. A place for weddings and baptisms. The DJ and “apostles” perform behind a long table, reminiscent of the “Last Supper,” dressed in stylized garments.

Era of Androids
Here are also two bars: one serving living water from the male android’s hose, representing his penis, and another serving dead water from the female android’s ample breast.
Art Car Elements
Cyberpunk
On the opposite side, the heads appear as android faces — perfect forms of the future. This side of the art car is lit with cold blue light and designed in a cyberpunk style.

Archetypes & Meaning
The project explores the connection between ancient mythology and modern psychology, reminding us of the essential role of the union between masculine and feminine as the foundation of life and culture.
Through mythological and fairy tale imagery, it reveals the key stages of personal, familial, and societal growth — inspiring each viewer to become the hero of their own story.
