This year, Mona’s adventure takes her to the vast, starry sky. Over the past three years, her little pink bunny has received countless warm hugs in Black Rock City; magic mushrooms have listened to whispered dreams; and her "Dice of Destiny" have joined people in laughing heartily at uncertainty amidst the sandstorms.
In a real world filled with the unknown and the unpredictable, adults seek and experience love, yet often lose the courage to love amidst the fog of reality. But for six-year-old Mona, love is not so complicated. Like many little girls, Mona has always cherished an innocent "wedding dream"—longing for the kind of fairytale wedding found in storybooks and hoping to walk hand-in-hand with her destined love. To Mona, love is like the little bunny she holds: a symbol of unwavering companionship, no matter how harsh the environment.
Mona Moon explores emotional softness within extreme environments.
The art piece is inspired in part by the ancient Chinese romantic but
tragic story of Chang'e and the Jade Bunny: Chang'e and her lover are
separated when she is forced to drink an elixir of immortality and
ascends to the moon where she is accompanied lover. Only once a year
the two lovers are able to see each other. In Chinese culture, when
two lovers or family members are far away from each other, they will
often look at the moon together in longing, and hopeful emotional
connectedness.
The purple Mona Bunny represents companionship,
sensitivity, and the human need for warmth and connection during
moments of longing.
To bring this innocent dream to life, the little bunny has soared into the starry expanse, settling quietly atop a giant crescent moon. Transformed into the desert’s gentlest guardian of love, it gazes up at the stars and out into the distance, awaiting that destined soulmate. It seeks to tell every soul encountered in the desert: love requires no weighing of pros and cons; love is simply about offering your purest heart, just as you would at the age of six.
To celebrate this love that recaptures such innocence, Mona invites everyone to join the "Mona Moon Marriage March"—a dreamlike parade that brings the fairytale wedding of her imagination into reality.
Set to the magical music of art cars, this "Moon Wedding Parade" will traverse the deep sands, stopping at various art installations along the way, before finally converging beneath a magnificent, giant moon sculpture. There, singles can look forward to a surprise "speed-dating" experience, while a desert officiant presides over a wild, fun, and fleeting "Desert Mass Wedding"—valid for just eight days. Whether you are walking with a partner, sharing a spark with a new soul, or choosing to marry that little bunny—the symbol of innocence and protection—you will receive an exclusive marriage certificate valid for those eight days. Finally, everyone gathers under the moonlight with their own food, sitting on the ground to share long conversations, transforming the lonely desert into the warmest of utopias. No matter what wild vows you wish to make beneath the moon, Mona Moon will watch over you with its gentle lunar glow, turning the desolate sands into a sanctuary of warmth.

We invite you to join us in starting a new chapter of the Mona story—a place where every lonely soul can find steadfast companionship under the moonlight.
