Ignite the Night: Bring Omega, the Cereus Flower, to Burning Man 2025!
Greetings, fellow dreamers, creators, and dust lovers!
Project Awake, powered by the anonymous spirits of The Unnamed Collective, is gearing up to bring a truly transformative gift to Black Rock City in 2025. This year, we invite you to help us manifest Omega , a breathtaking, interactive art piece that embodies the fleeting beauty and profound awakening of the desert's most mystical bloom: the Cereus flower.
The Vision: Omega - A Desert Bloom Awakens
Imagine: as the sun dips below the horizon, and the Playa transforms into a canvas of starlight, a towering form begins to stir. This is Omega , our magnificent Cereus flower, standing 35 feet tall and expanding to a radiant 66 feet wide when fully open.
Inspired by the desert's own secret keeper, Omega captures the essence of a bloom that awakens softly in the midnight air, unfolding its pale petals to reveal secrets held within. Born from thorn and arid sand, it waits patiently to take its stand, a quiet herald of the day, creating opportunities and new beginnings of community, love, and light. Like its brief, bright bloom, Omega reveals its true beauty at night, a powerful symbol that even in darkness, light gives birth to day.
Omega is not just a sculpture; it's a living, breathing, interactive experience. Its 8 grand petals are each adorned with dragonfly fire poofers that shoot spectacular 40-foot flames! With intricate LED lighting, Omega will bloom at dusk and gracefully close at dawn, inviting participants to control its mesmerizing fire effects , creating a truly immersive and unforgettable spectacle. Prepare for magical mysteries and surprises to delight and wow, all unfolding right in front of our Project Awake camp, which will feature comfortable lounge spaces and a playful community playground for day and night enjoyment.
Our Mission: Crafting Change Through Art
The Unnamed Collective operates anonymously, driven by a singular goal: to impact humanity without ego. Our mission is a challenge to be the change in the world, demonstrating that love triumphs over ego, uniting us in a quest for care and presence. We believe our art will inspire a collective surge of positive change, fostering ART, innovation, radical self-reliance, compassion, and communal effort.
This profound gift to the Playa is built by veteran burners and music industry designers with over 25 years of collective experience. Our gift is our craft – a labor of love, expertise, and unwavering dedication to the Burning Man ethos.
Your Support: Ignite the Flames of Omega!
Bringing a piece of this scale and complexity to the playa is a monumental undertaking, and we've already invested our personal resources to make it happen. Your donation goes directly to recoup the significant costs of fabrication, transport, and safe operation. Your contribution is an investment in art, community, and the transformative power of the burn.
Join us in this transformative movement. Help us ignite Omega and heal our planet through love and community.
Thank you for your generosity and for being a part of Project Awake 2025!
See you in the dust! )'(
