The Parachute People is a nonprofit dedicated to building community through play and empowering personal well-being. I deeply connected with their mission and together we joined forces to design and create a one of a kind 45-foot parachute.
This parachute was designed for Electric Forest to celebrate the festival's 10-year anniversary and the community's reunion after a three-year hiatus. With the Forest Family in mind, the design incorporates the festival name, totem creatures, fairy doors, lightning bolts and trees icons.
The mandala represents the reunion of family and celebrates togetherness. To strengthen this connection, we encouraged everyone who played with the parachute to leave their mark by signing the outside pedals. As the parachute gained more marks, it becomes an amazing display showing that we are here, together again.
Thank You...
