AYAHUASCA
_
This project emerged from the need to represent a series of hallucinations I experienced during several Ayahuasca sessions. Given the difficulty of describing these visions, this series aims to illustrate the distortion of my perception, the anguish I felt during the sessions, and the way I saw so many people throughout the process.
Ayahuasca, also known as yagé, is a traditional drink used in the indigenous medicine of South America. Its name in the Quechua dialect means "rope of the spirits," derived from the words "aya" (spirit, dead) and "waska" (rope). In the worldview of native peoples, ayahuasca is the rope that allows the spirit to leave the body without it dying.
This substance induces a series of hallucinations during sessions that typically last all night and are conducted as part of a ritual aimed at ancestral healing. The process seeks to release generational traumas and uncover deep fears and traumas.
