Make the Best of the Time I Have Left is to portray the use of psychedelics interspersed with the dark depression of a terminally ill patient. This piece is about how people can cope with their problems and how open mindedness can help us to see all possibilities of how life can be more enjoyable for the time we are here.

Blinds is to understand how darkness, depression and the lack of sight can affect people and how using the available psychedelics can help people experience moments that the average person can't and experiences the blind miss out on. While being blind isn't death it surely must take a toll on the mental of those unable to see and as people with sight often tend to take for granite the advantage we have. I wanted to convey the idea of having a moment of bliss in a lifetime without sight experiencing something heavily auditory. What the piece means to me is trying to convey these experiences and these familiar feelings of sent touch and smell through vision.

The collage section incorporated smells, scents and feelings that I tried to use to familiarize the audience with. Lemons, wet dogs and swimming fish all sounds, smells and feelings that are familiar and that one can distinctly recall. This was the purpose to try and let the viewer experience these while the main image of the ear tries to make you think of the sound and the feeling of these moments and things. All while being colorful to show intensified feelings and emphasis dragged into the ear.

Psychedelic Past is a visual conception of the past use of psychedelic drugs in Aztec culture and how they influenced art and the focal points of god. We see man and human lower on the painting but through colour they elevate to the eye in the higher section with the owls. The colours and swirling imagery convey this idea of not only psychedelic use but the freeing movement of them.

The imagery shown conveys a sense of freeness and the base water colours are all cool colours to show a sense of base sadness or unexperienced mind and then are overlapped by bright sprawling colours to show how the use of peyote and these types of psychedelics help elevate the mind to higher consciousness.

Infinity Is Temporary creates a visual idea of how psychedelics can help those with depression and anxiety. This piece is the magnum opus of my theme and envelopes this large and topical idea of those with depression taking psychedelics medicinally. It's a large topic in politics and within life today is how to help people suffering from depression and anxiety. I wanted to take this idea of how psychedelics can be used medicinally by creating a visual representation of how psychedelics can alter an outlook or idea.

The purpose of these visuals is to show clutter, uneasiness and anxiety using the black dots. The skull evokes this idea of depression and sadness aligning with the viewers face but the bright three dimensional hills change the overall mood of the piece by evoking a freeing sense of wonder. I link this to the idea of people with depression taking psychedelics to help them come to an idea of themselves and self acceptance.
