Bhūtarāh is alive. A huge thank you to elrow, UNVRS, and the incredible creative team who helped bring this world into being. These projects are always a collective effort, and this one was no different. What a dream it was to work with #HybridProject on the mind-blowing visuals. They poured so much love, care, and imagination into every part of the vision. And what an honour to have Hans Leser create the most magical jewel, casting light throughout the space. Opening night was one to remember. #DanielPopper #elrow #Bhutarah #UNVRSIbiza

A few moments from the making of Bhūtarāh, from sketches and fabrication to long days, late nights, and countless hands bringing the vision to life. The portal may be open, but the journey started long before the first guests arrived. #DanielPopper #elrow #Bhutarah #BehindTheScenes #hybridproject

most of us never meet our own nature we live behind one angle. one story. one fixed idea of who we are @danielpopper ’s “kriya” sits in the eco path at nuanu creative - bali and quietly undoes that kriya means completed action - a practice in yoga meant to carry you to a specific result. here the result is seeing. clearly. fully the sculpture opens you to more than one perspective. more than one self. more than one way the path could go bali keeps doing this to me. you come for the view and leave rearranged what would you see if you stopped looking from just one angle eco path, magic garden

A few final details coming together. Bhūtarāh makes its debut with elrow in just a few days, and I couldn’t be more excited to finally share this world we’ve been building. #DanielPopper #elrow #Bhutarah #ImmersiveArt #InstallationArt

There’s something beautiful about watching people slow down inside the work, even for a moment. These guardians were created for Nuanu in Bali, a space shaped around reflection, nature, and connection. By night, projection mapping shifts them into something softer, stranger, and more alive.

Two years after Boom Shaman, I was invited to create Emergence (2018). The title speaks to something I’ve always felt deeply, when separate parts come together, they become something greater than they ever could alone. Nature, people, energy, connection. Built from reclaimed wood, bamboo and salvaged rope, this piece was made to feel alive and in conversation with its surroundings. At night, projections with Wayne Ellis brought another layer of spirit and movement to life. Have you experienced Emergence or were you at Boom in 2018? I’d love to hear your memories, drop a comment if it stayed with you. #Emergence #BoomFestival #DanielPopper #SculptureArt #InstallationArt

World Art Day 🌿 For me, art has always been about connection, to people, to nature, and to something deeper within ourselves. It’s about creating spaces where people can pause, reflect, and feel something real. Today is a reminder to stay curious, stay open, and to keep creating from a place that feels honest. So, where to next? #WorldArtDay #DanielPopper #PublicArt #ArtInstallation #ContemporaryArt #CreativeProcess #ArtAndNature

Tendai- created for the Tao beach club in Las Vegas The name means gratitude. I made this piece to bring a sense of calm into a space that’s usually pretty high energy. She stands with her eyes closed and hands open, just holding that feeling of stillness and presence. People walk into the hands and become part of it, even if just for a moment. It’s really just a reminder to pause, take it in, and be grateful for where you are. #danielpopper @floratorium @JasonStrauss @noahtepperberg @PWIN_ltd @RockwellGroup @TaoBeach

Boom Dancers 🔥 I created this piece for Boom Festival 2025, inspired by that moment when the music takes over and everyone moves as one. It’s about rhythm, connection, and the shared energy you feel on the dance floor. This work is an invitation, to step in, feel the beat, and become part of it. #DanielPopper #BoomFestival #Boom2025 #PublicArt #SculptureArt #ArtInstallation #DanceCulture #FestivalArt #ImmersiveArt #ContemporaryArt

Elemental Monuments is a visual journal of the last decade of my work. It brings together the public sculptures and large-scale installations that have shaped my journey, moving from early concepts to the moments they finally stood in the world. The book shares the process, the challenges, and the quiet in-between moments behind the scale. Each piece is rooted in place, guided by nature, people, and collaboration. These monuments carry the fingerprints of a tribe, I am always in awe of the crew that makes this possible. danielpopper.com #DanielPopper #ElementalMonuments #PublicArt #LargeScaleArt #ArtAndNature #PublicArt #ImmersiveArt #ArtAndNature #ContemporarySculpture #InstallationArt #EnvironmentalArt #ArtInstallation #SculptureArt #ExperientialArt

Beyond the veil of the everyday, a celestial alignment unfolds. I will bring his monumental vision to Sizigia . As the moon obscures the sun, the creations will rise as totems of a hidden reality portals consecrated by the unique darkness of the Great Eclipse. Witness the convergence of visionary art and cosmic shadow. A gateway designed for a celestial event that happens once in a lifetime. sizigiaeclipse.com

Before anything reaches scale or site, it begins here. In the studio. In the hands. In the making. Ideas are tested through material, repetition, and patience. Welding, modelling, building maquettes, taking things apart and putting them back together again. This is the quiet, rigorous part of the work, where form is questioned, proportions are refined, and intention becomes physical. These moments don’t always make it into the final experience, but they shape everything that follows. Process isn’t separate from the work; it is the work. Deeply grateful for the crew, the craft, the countless hours, and every person who contributes to bringing these ideas to life. Thank you always 🙏 📸: @jonx_burning

Welcome to 2026. I’m stepping into this year with a lot of gratitude & quiet excitement. The work continues to evolve, shaped by nature, scale, collaboration & the spaces we build together. There are new ideas forming, new projects on the horizon, and opportunities to create work that invites people to pause, feel & connect. The journey continues. I’ll share more as it unfolds. #DanielPopper #PublicArt #ImmersiveArt
