Honorary Title: Keepers of the Tales
We seek brave souls to carry the honorary title: Keepers of the Tales.
As an insignia of this role, you will be entrusted with the 📿 Lost Medallion for safekeeping, worn and called upon during our opening ceremony.
Designed by Linh Trinh and hand-carved from wood by artisans in Hoi An, its symbol holds the key to the unravelling of the forgotten story at the heart of this piece.
📿 Wear it as you stand before the artwork at the Burn.
It may whisper its secrets to you.
Why 28?
In Vietnam, the 28th day leading up to Tết (lunar new year) are
about preparation: cleaning, tending, and getting ready to welcome
what’s next. This tier is for those who help prepare the ground.
You will receive a lovingly illustrated sticker
commemorating the art piece!
Your $28 helps seed the project at its earliest stage, turning small acts of care into collective momentum. In return, you carry a piece of the story with you: light, playful, and full of heart.
Because sometimes, the smallest offerings hold the most meaning. 🌊🧂
*Visual is conceptual and not
the final product*
A rugged canvas tote for market runs, beach days, studio chaos, and carrying the weight of your ancestors (or just snacks). Durable, practical, and unapologetically seaworthy.
Salt in the blood. Craft in the hands.
Scattered, never
lost.
(Pssstttt.....does it come in white or black? We are
undecided yet. Maybe you can tell us your preference!)
*Visual is conceptual and not
the final product*
We grant you a blessing of abundance from the temples of UNESCO
Heritage Site, Hoi An. A papercut will be signed, sealed and delivered
from Vietnam to you, together with a specially blended incense that
captures the soul of Vietnam.

We seek tide and time benders to carry the honorary title: Keepers of the Tide.
Offered by HuiWoon, Lead Artist of the project, this role honors those who tend rhythm, return, and renewal.
As an insignia, you will be entrusted with a 💍 ring, handcrafted in Hoi An, Vietnam by skilled artisans. Cast in sterling silver and set with a sea-born stone, it marks continuity rather than possession.
There are rings.
Not to rule them all, but to be called upon 💍
to tend to the dust and sea during our opening and blessing ceremony.
In the spirit of
Uncle Iroh:
Tea first. Burning Man later.
As an honorary member of the White Lotus Clan, you are invited into an intimate, off-playa gathering hosted by HuiWoon, Lead Artist of the project. This is not a public event, but a closed-door meeting—small, intentional, and grounded in presence.
You will join a select circle for a guided tea ceremony led by HuiWoon, drawing from lotus tea traditions and her apprenticeship with Vietnamese tea master Nguyễn Việt Hùng, winner of the Tea Master Cup. Together, we will taste teas from the indigenous highlands, farms of central Vietnam, and the lotus traditions preserved in the royal city of Huế.
🍃 What this includes
-
Invitation to a White Lotus Clan gathering (small, private circle)
-
A hosted tea ceremony led by HuiWoon
-
Shared reflection on the philosophy, lineage, and deeper currents behind the artwork
-
A moment of stillness amid the noise
-
Commemorative Vietnamese lotus tea to bring home with you
This is not just a perk.
It is a seat at the table where
meaning and wisdom are tended.
A rare chance to be part of BM art creation, by contributing your
ideas, stories and memories towards one of the boat’s theme! We will
help manifest it in light, sound, vibrant brushstrokes etc.
Join us, up close and personal, as we breathe LIVE into art. 🌬️
