Prodigal Swan
Art car · IA fire-breathing mechaswan welded onto a cargo mover. Crown flame, LED, and a habit of coming home.
Swan Forest is a partnership between two legendary art cars at Black Rock City: Prodigal Swan—the towering, fire-breathing metallic swan mutant vehicle—and ForestHouse—the glowing, LED-lit, two-story forest art car. Together we unite 120+ burners under one banner of community, art, and radical self-expression.
We build shared infrastructure, pool resources, and create a welcoming playa home none of us could make alone. A luminous, fiery sanctuary that invites burners to glide in gracefully, burn brightly, and leave a little wilder than they arrived.
The magic isn't found out here. It's the kind you make yourself.

A glowing two-story forest on wheels. Walks softer than the Swan, climbs higher, lights up like a canopy at dusk.
