Passage, originally installed at Burning Man 2005, expresses the moment in which legacy is passed on from one generation to the next. The artists frequently work with themes of hope for the future, environmental concerns and humanitarian ideals in their works. Event Founder, Larry Harvey, asked artist, Dan Das Mann, why the mother and child sculptures were pointed toward the open playa, decidedly away from ‰Û÷the Man‰Ûª, the effigy which is the namesake of the event. Dan replied that the sculptures were leaving Black Rock City, heading out to live their lives in the great big world beyond.
