<div>We are the team behind <strong>Mebuyan Pulse</strong>, a large-scale, walkable, climbable artwork for Burning Man 2026. The project will rise from the desert as a constellation of six interconnected spheres: 23 x 53 x 31 feet.

<div>By day, Mebuyan Pulse will shimmer with <strong>recycled and organic materials</strong>: 5-gallon water jugs, fluorescent plastic bottles, bamboo, palm-leaf forms, and laser-cut panels.

</div>
<div>By night, it will transform through <strong>UV-reactive surfaces, multicolor lasers, sky beams, sound, and spoken-word activations</strong> into a gathering place for reflection, play, and collective ritual.

</div>
<div>The work takes its name from Mebuyan, a <strong>goddess</strong> from Bagobo mythology in the Philippines: a figure of life and death, <strong>nourishment, protection, and transformation</strong>.

</div>
<div>Our vision is to create a cosmic place of care at Black Rock City, a space where wanderers can climb, gather, sit in stillness, and feel <strong>the invisible threads of support that bind us all</strong> across cultures, communities, grief, joy, and change in an ever-shifting world landscape.

<div><strong>GENESIS:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mebuyan Pulse grows from the bones of <strong>Mebuyan Vessel, our 2022 Burning Man installation</strong>, but this is not a rebuild. It is a major evolution. We are transforming the original structure with a renewed visual language, an 11-foot laser-cut metal ground sphere, an additional 4-ft suspended sphere, two new access points for safer circulation, expanded lighting, and a sound system for timed activations throughout the week.

<div><strong>FUNDRAISER</strong>:

</div>
<div><strong>*** Donations are tax-deductible ***</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have early support from the Burning Man Org, Five Ton Crane, and a couple of generous souls. Now we need to raise the <strong>remaining $25,000</strong> to complete fabrication, transportation, lighting, power, safety, sound, and installation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every contribution matters</strong>. A <strong>$25</strong> gift helps buy fasteners and build consumables. <strong>$100</strong> helps create the recycled decorative skin. <strong>$250</strong> helps support safety materials and structural details. <strong>$500</strong> helps fund lighting and electrical systems. <strong>$1,000+</strong> helps move the work from plan to playa.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mebuyan Pulse is built from repurposed and recycled materials, carrying stories of labor, <strong>migration, transformation, and belonging</strong>. The project connects to Leeroy New’s ongoing <strong>Aliens of Manila</strong> series and to a wider practice of turning discarded objects into luminous, living forms.
