“If it’s not burned, leased or sold it needs to go somewhere,” says Rene Byck, of Paradise Ridge Winery.
David Best
David Best is an American sculptor and installation artist renowned for his ephemeral temple structures built at the annual Burning Man festival in Nevada's Black Rock Desert. These intricately designed, large-scale wooden temples serve as communal spaces for reflection, remembrance, and healing. Often set ablaze at the festival's culmination, they symbolize impermanence and catharsis. Best's artistry goes beyond the playa, as he has also created temple structures in communities affected by tragedy around the world.
