Lead artist Drewry Hanes says, “I grew up with the idea that we are all part of ‘an interdependent web of life’, that everything and everyone is connected. It was part of my faith and the way I knew in hard times that though I felt alone, I was not alone. The saying “there are no strangers, only friends you haven’t met yet” resonated with me strongly at my first year at Burning Man. Through art, I want people to feel that they are connecting to everyone else even invisibly.” Through the mailbox, you can write a message and not know where it goes, and receive a message from somewhere unknown but perhaps known. As we travel with the card tucked into our pocket or pack, we have a piece of someone’s mind and soul with us, meant for us. We gave something of ourselves, and we are tied inexorably together. When we take the card with us when we leave a place, we are forever connecting the experience and that person with our lives beyond.
