A new Burner from Burkina Faso, experiencing Burning Man for the first time, seeing all the spectacular arts and scenery in Black Rock City.

IWCS presents an extraordinary journey — our staff member Naze Abdou’s first experience at Burning Man.

The film follows Naze as he steps into the desert with fresh eyes, navigating the creativity of Black Rock City — from exploring massive wooden installations to joining in communal activities.
Through his perspective, we see not only the iconic temples and sculptures, but also the spirit of curiosity, openness, and connection that defines Burning Man.

This is a story about being new and curious, and discovering the connection between wood and its community in the heart of the desert.
