Hello,

We are Jettinae and Lukas from Germany. We need your help, once again, to show our art project at Burning Man 2024.

The Tear-Drop at Burning Man 2023 was a success! Thank you all for your support and encouragement, we couldn't have done it without y'all.

For more pictures of the Tear Drop click here.

It survived Burning Man 2023 with almost no problems, and, afterwards, we were invited to feature it at The Reno-Tahoe International Art Show. It was enthusiastically well recieved, and enjoyed by hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of people, but, with all of our new erratic ideas, it quickly became a prototype for how we want to improve it.

Now comes Version 2.0: The "Ocean of Tears"!

As the small ripples become waves in a vast ocean, we can sometimes find ourselves on tumultuous waters.

As the metal crank turns the illuminated plexiglass waves, mounted on a wood frame, we discover how the motions will impact the wave going back and forth through eternity. Regardless of the direction and path we choose, it will always create cause and effect.

The good news is: this project is already partly made, using many parts recycled from the "Tear-Drop" and will be shown at Burning Man for sure.

It depends on your donation how big and illuminated it will be!

We would spend this money on materials, supplies, and transportation, etc. and will not be using it to pay anyone who is working on the project. A Burning Man project isn't about making a profit. It's about bringing art to the people. That's what we are going to do, hopefully with your help.

Donations from $50 will be rewarded with a hand made stainless steel necklace. Necklaces will be delivered onsite on the Playa, or we can also deliver, please contact us for more information.

For donations over $250 we have a special art piece as a surprise for you.
