Self Portrait of the Artist by Bernd Handau

A closer look

This creation was inspired by the ceremonial fever of Burning Man. Living is Reno, Nevada, I’m profoundly drenched in the culture of this phenomenal event. “Self Portrait of the Artist” is a direct result of the amazing philosophy behind Burning Man. It’s an image of the “conscience and collective memory” of humans coming out of the darkness stepping into the brilliant light of pure beauty.
