Imagine spending months carving, painting and working tirelessly to craft a giant, gravity-defying display of towering puppets — only to watch your creations stuffed with fireworks and burned to the ground. But there’s no sadness at Las Fallas (“the fires”), the yearly celebration in Spain that’s capped by sending hundreds of puppets off in a blaze of glory. “The meaning of burning fallas is based on burning everything bad in the year to start a new cycle,” says 25-year-old Iván Tortajada (@ivantortajada), an artist and illustrator who lives in Valencia, Spain, where the festival is held. “When you see them, the sacrifice of the whole year comes to mind. It makes your hair stand on end.” Iván has been attending Las Fallas since he was a baby and entered his first professional display in 2011. “From its conception, you know that it is ephemeral,” he says. “It makes you cry, but with happiness and emotion.”
