‘Praying’ For A Great Time

As night descends on the Burning Man Festival, a unique figure emerges in front of a roaring bonfire: a man cloaked in an elaborate praying mantis costume. In a sea of outlandish outfits, this attendee knows just how to captivate and stand tall among the festival’s vibrant crowd.

Such imaginative costumes are a hallmark of Burning Man, allowing participants to express their individuality and creativity. Opting for the cool of the night, he’s made a wise choice; the scorching daytime desert sun would make such an ensemble unbearable. His mantis guise embodies the festival’s spirit of eccentricity, whimsy, and the boundless limits of self-expression.
