After attending the first Burning Man movie three years ago, San Francisco photographer Jin Ho was still thinking about her experience after returning from the Black Rock Desert.
“I’m definitely still being treated,” Hu said. “It usually takes a few weeks for me to fully understand what happened.” “But I think first impressions would be, it just felt oddly similar to previous years. It was almost like no time had passed somehow.”

Despite feeling a return to familiarity with frequent festival-goers, the realities and emotions of living through the COVID-19 pandemic were also evident.
“I have piece on [Burning Man] temple Before. The temple felt especially emotional this year, there are so many people who died, that people were trying to let go and find closure for this year,” she said.

Jin Ho“The Burning Man feels like a dream any year,” Hu said. “But I think after he was just gone for so many years, it seemed like a more intense version of a dream because it was such a vivid memory.”
Hu noted that this year has seen a greater variety of artworks, many of which are smaller in size, allowing festival-goers to interact on a more personal level.

Jin Ho“I’ve always been very inspired by what people want to show there, whether it’s in fashion or art,” she added. “It always blows my mind what people can accomplish.”
This year, Burning Man also saw some of the harshest weather Hu Jintao has seen in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, which included sweltering temperatures and dust storms that lasted all day. The weather created all-white conditions, which made navigating anywhere difficult.

But she noted that extreme weather is part of the Burning Man experience.
“In limited amounts, I really enjoy the dusting, because it feels kind of clearing. … There’s a lot of stimulation, isn’t it? It’s like a hyper-stimulating environment that really limits your focus, slows you down. It helps you enjoy where you are, and it helps you get to know people.” Renew and react to what’s going on around you instead of feeling scared.”
