For Burning Man in 2016, I wanted to make cicada wings out of an LED pixel array and a playa-proof Arduino / battery box that I made 3 years ago for my jellyfish tutu.

This year was a super special Burning Man because Dan (my partner) and I got engaged! These are some photos we took together in our homemade light-up costumes.
