Naga is a 100-foot-long, 25-foot-tall sculpture consisting of five sections that will be installed in Golden Gate Park. Initially showcased at Burning Man, it features 5,000 hand-forged scales, internal lighting, and bubble-blowing capabilities. The artwork was a planned installation in the park prior to its creation, with Rainbow Falls Pond as a suggested location. Over 250 volunteers contributed approximately 35,000 hours to its construction. Funding efforts continue to reach the necessary $400,000 for completion and artist compensation, with plans for an accompanying installation named Captainess.
The 100-foot-long, 25-foot-tall sculpture is lit from within, is able to blow bubbles out of its nose and is covered with 5,000 hand-forged scales.
More than 250 volunteers contributed about 35,000 hours of work to construct the art piece, which is the brainchild of Oakland architectural metal artist Cjay Roughgarden.
Talks about bringing the massive serpent to the park began before it was built, and one "psychedelic green" location stood out.
If fully funded, the second component of the installation will join Naga. This galleonlike ship called the "Captainess."
