Standing in the Sacred Fire space at Boomland, Dancer is a permanent sculpture that honors the rhythm of connection between people, place, and spirit. Crafted from reinforced concrete, ceramic, and mirror mosaic, the 12-meter figure embodies the energy of celebration, the strength of community, and the grace of movement.

Inspired by the three-headed goddess, she becomes a space for transformation. Her mirrored surfaces reflect not only the landscape but the shared presence of those who gather around her—dancing, grieving, remembering, becoming.

Where many monuments mark struggle, Dancer offers something different: a quiet beacon of resilience, joy, and hope. She speaks to the power of movement to elevate the soul and strengthen our bonds. The more the dancers intertwine, the stronger they become.

Dancer was brought to life over six intense and love-filled weeks by an extraordinary crew; every tile holds the touch of those who shaped her. This is not just a sculpture—it’s a vessel of love, labor, and spirit.
