Nova Heaven is fundraising
Chai $18 Campaign Nova Heaven Let There Be Light
Darkness grows in silence. Light grows when we share it.
Give $18*, share this fundraiser with your tribe, and join thousands in bringing “Let There Be Light”, a living Nova memorial, to life. In Hebrew, "Chai" means "Life" and also the is the word for the number "18".
Donate. Share. Shine the light.
We still need at least $180,000 to bring this to light. A new, huge art piece with lasers and intention in every triangle. Spread the word.
*We will of course be excited about all the multiples of $18 donations as well!
Let There Be Light
In 2026, Nova Heaven evolves into a monumental space of light, connection, and elevation. The installation, "Let There be Light" is composed of 24 triangles - 18 smaller triangles engraved with sacred geometry, and 6 larger sanctuaries that invite presence, gathering, and deep human connection. Together, they create a living language of movement and community - a space that invites us to pause, dwell, feel, and look inward.
The Beating Heart
At the heart of the installation, at the meeting point of the 24 triangles, stands a central hexagonal platform. Within it are 413 circular openings of light - each one representing a soul, and together forming a living source of memory, presence, and continuity. This is the beating heart of the installation - the place where our 413 angels continue to shine into the world and live on within us.
A Movement of Elevation
From the center, a powerful beam of light rises toward the sky, joined by six laser beams emerging from the large sanctuaries. Together, they merge into one unified movement of ascension - a gesture that expresses the essence of this year’s installation: the creation of a living space of light, connection, and rising.
The Guiding Forces - Light | Connection | Elevation
This year’s installation is rooted in three central forces.
Light - the force that illuminates the path and opens the heart.
Connection - the force that allows a community to feel, to be, and to create together.
Elevation - the choice to keep growing, expanding, and directing our energy upward.
This is a prayer built through form, light, and intention - a space that reminds us of our ability to transform memory into living presence, and community into a force that continues to lead us forward.
This is the third art installation designed and built by the Nova Heaven crew and will debut at Burning Man in 2026. Our plan for this piece is to install parts of it at public spaces around the United States.
