Psychedelia

The concept focuses on the impact and the prevalence of psychedelia and psychedelics throughout history, whether it is in Religion, Mythology, or Counterculture. The use of psychedelics existed since 5400 BCE in Algeria and still exists till this day in multiple religious practices. The project aims to map my findings and visually represent them through different psychedelic visuals and experimentations.

The concept is inspired by my strong admiration towards the psychedelic movement. The motivation is to investigate the relevance of psychedelics in contemporary culture and ancient culture as well as challenge preconceived ideas. I was also inspired by seeing many links to religion and ancient high cultures as due to the nature of censorship psychedelia is considered a taboo therefore, a lot of these links are not popular.­­­
