Miguel Arraiz's design for the Temple of the Deep for Burning Man 2025 draws inspiration from the Nevada desert and the Japanese art of kintsugi. The temple, with its charred exterior and streams of light, serves as a sanctuary for reflection and personal transformation. It incorporates Baroque geometries while symbolizing resilience, reflecting on life's losses and renewals. Featuring seven entrances representing stages of grief, the design fosters community and introspection, echoing the festival's themes of radical acceptance and emotional release.
The Temple of the Deep symbolizes a heart broken into different fragments yet reassembled, its visible scars serving as enduring symbols of resilience and renewal.
Arraiz's design for the Temple draws upon ancient gathering places, reflecting the emotional significance of the space in terms of personal transformation.
