Moth Ball

More than just a decoration, Steve became the mascot of what was known as “Moth Ball” - a recurring renegade gathering of extended friends across various landscapes of the east bay. Modelled after a luna moth, or the “American moon moth,” Steve reflects the nocturnal nature of our gatherings, always organized around full moons. He was built with love over the course of a week out of locally-sourced bamboo and scrap fabric.

Although no longer with us, Steve will be remembered for lighting up our nights with the many colors he brought through his programmable LED eyes. His graceful movements in the wind made it seem as if he were dancing with us, and he continues to do so in many hearts and minds.
