"I am the Light. I remember" depicts ancient guardians as living expressions of memory, consciousness, and humanity's enduring relationship with nature. It celebrates the Axis Mundi - the world tree that unites earth, sky, and unseen realms. Here, the Cryptomeria becomes more than a tree; it becomes a universal symbol and interconnected life. The title "I am the Light. I Remember" expresses a journey inward. It invites burners to remember their shared humanity and their relationship with their own soul. As burners and participants pass between the Guardians of Cryptomeria into the heart of the trunk, they symbolically leave behind separation and enter a sanctuary of contemplation, where art and community converge in the spirit of Burning Man.
