About
The Starting Line presents a familiar race structure reimagined as a moment of beginning. It represents the shift from reflection to action, what is released during the burn and what is carried forward after it ends. Rooted in the idea of taking the first mile toward who one wants to become, the piece honors the spirit of a fellow Burner and the belief that meaningful change starts with a single step. The installation turns a recognizable form into a shared experience of intention, connection, and moving forward.
