Originally created for Burning Man 2024, Naga & The Captainess is a 100-foot-long, 25-foot-tall serpent made of over 5,000 shimmering scales and lit from within. Installed in the weirdly green water of Rainbow Falls Pond (yes! There is a man-made waterfall) near JFK Promenade about 700 feet east of Transervse Drive on San Francisco’s Golden Mile.

The whimsical sculpture is set to become the largest public art piece in the history of the park.

The project is a collaboration between local artists Cjay Roughgarden, Stephanie Shipman, and Jacquelyn Scott, with support from arts nonprofit Illuminate, the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, and a crew of over 250 volunteers. On occasion, Naga even blows bubbles from his nose – just in case he wasn’t magical enough.

More than just a sculpture, Naga is the first part of a larger immersive experience still in progress. Plans include a sculptural shipwreck seating area, interactive treasure chests, and a watery street mural meant to inspire connection and play.
