“I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?” Inspiration for the 2022 Burning Man structure was drawn from a quote by 4th century BC Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zi, according to an Instagram post by Aaron Muszalskiz, who has helped create and destroy the effigy since 2007. This year’s "Waking Dreams" iteration of the Burning Man had a lot to live up to, with nearly four decades of history. This is the 37th effigy since the very first man was burned in 1986. Swipe to see how the statue has changed throughout the years. Visit the link in bio for more information. 📸: @renogazettejournal
