Temple of Gratitude - AfrikaBurn 2017

 Apr 24 - Apr 29 · Tankwa Karoo, Northern Cape, South Africa

 A new temple space will rise at AfrikaBurn in 2017 - The Temple of Gratitude.

The Temple of Gratitude provides a space for us to acknowledge all that we are thankful for. This may refer to anything: ourselves, our health and creativity and uniqueness; another person, a friend or family member; or simply the privilege of viewing a landscape that moves us, or the joy of riding a bicycle.

The design is based on the Irish Father-Daughter Knot which, as legend goes, is a knot knotted by a girl at her father’s deathbed. The four edges that point inward symbolize family members looking towards the father.

This design, however, is also often interpreted as a symbol of Gratitude.

“Gratitude” pendant in wood on a leather thong, diameter 40mm.
