Get a first look at the incredible art coming to Black Rock City this year!
Desert Arts Preview is your chance to step behind the scenes and meet the artists, hear their stories, tour their studios, and explore the creative visions coming to life.
Temple of the Deep – Miguel Arraiz
The Temple of the Deep is a sanctuary for grief, love, and introspection, formed beneath a massive black stone that appears to hover above participants. This dark, fractured element symbolizes the weight of loss and the strength found in healing, inspired by kintsugi, where brokenness is embraced and honored. Seven narrow entrances guide visitors through the journey of mourning, leading to a central gathering space mirroring BRC’s layout. Alcoves and chapels offer solitude and remembrance, while the seamless integration with the desert transforms sorrow into connection, grounding participants in shared reflection.
