Lillian Heyward with her installation during its Build Week assembly. The Island is an oasis on the playa. It is a place to recline on our soft shores, swing in the hammock. Climb to the crow's nest and peer out into the dust for approaching pirates. The Island is made of things we humans have cast off, transformed into a creative place of play. It is also a reminder of what we can create when we reuse and repurpose; and in doing so, save the places we love that are being inundated with our waste, overconsumption, and pollution. At Burning Man it's a place of rest, to meet, make friends, and be children again.
