Art Burns

The iconic effigy and temple stand as powerful symbols of ritual and reflection. The effigy, a fiery spectacle, marks the communal celebration of creativity, while the temple provides a sacred space for personal introspection and emotional release, creating a profound duality at the heart of our experience.
