* Since 2000, the Temple has been a place for catharsis, remembrance, and rebirth, offering Burning Man participants a physical reminder to embrace change.

Drawing its inspiration from canyons carved over time by wind and water, the Temple of Flux rises from the desert floor as a series of gracefull double-curved walls. Their wide, heavy bases taper as they ascend, leading the eye from a solid urban foundation to an increasingly fragmented upper edge as these long angles reach to the sky.

The Temple is a collaborative effort of three long-time community artists; Rebecca Anders, Jess Hobbs, and Peter Kimelman; along with numerous Burning Man communities and friends.
We have a huge range of experience and backgrounds, with one unifying vision: creating awe-inspiring, memorable art that emerges from the community and influences change.

Please be quiet in the neighborhood, respect your surroundings, and do not post to lists.

Imagine... it is a cold night in the Japanese countryside and you find yourself walking to a bench to find a woman weeping into a bit of cloth. Being the caring person that you are, you stop. You inquire as to the woman's woes and are deeply moved by her response. She gazes at you with liquid eyes and intimates that her lover has left her in this flurry of snow and pain to fend for herself. Concerned, you sit and offer your most colorful description of the nature of fate and the stupidity of fickle and blind men. She clings to you, her arms sliding over your shoulders as if to block out the cold.

You almost miss the blade that she has formed to her tongue as it glides across your neck... sealing your fate.

Meet the KUNOICHI. The female ninjas. As deadly... if not moreso... than their male counterparts, they are the masters of their craft and are ninjas the likes of which even the most stalwart opponent dare not offend.

Lady Scorpia is such a ninja and her lethal skillz draw you in to such an extent that your ultimate destination is of no moment, and all that matters is the beauty that lures you to ecstasy...
