Final Phase: Help Finish ZARVAN

ZARVAN is almost here.

After months of designing, engineering, welding, painting, and countless late nights, this 23-foot interactive sculpture inspired by the ancient Persian spirit of time is actually coming together. Soon, people will look through ZARVAN's eyes, speak through her ears, gather beneath her luminous crown, and become part of an epic work of art that comes alive through human connection.

ZARVAN is the creative vision of Iranian artist, engineer, and technologist Gazelle Dasti whose ability to transform ancient mythology into monumental, participatory art has inspired an extraordinary community to help bring this ambitious work to life.

A growing team of artists, fabricators, engineers, volunteers, donors, friends, and believers have shown up with their time, skills, resources, and encouragement (build updates here). Every hour of labor, introduction, and donation, has brought ZARVAN closer to becoming real. We are profoundly grateful to everyone who has helped, and can't wait to share ZARVAN with the world at Burning Man and beyond.

Now, we are in the final stretch. The countdown to the playa has begun. What stands between where we are today and a fully realized ZARVAN are the final materials, fabrication costs, and support for the crew working tirelessly to finish this monumental build.

We need to raise $10,000 over the next three weeks to complete the final phase of construction. If ZARVAN has inspired you, now is the moment to become part of its story.

Please donate today, and share this campaign with fellow art and culture lovers!!
