This is your drug on brains

The piece is dominated by two central forms: a brain-like, towered structure on the left, and a swirling, organic mass on the right. The brain-tower, with its segmented, almost architectural construction, suggests the rigidity and logic of the human mind. The vibrant pinks and oranges lend it a sense of heat or chemical activation, perhaps alluding to the overstimulation of neurons. The rounded base seems grounded yet unstable, hinting at the precarious balance of the brain under influence.

In contrast, the form on the right is fluid and chaotic, its green, purple, and earthy tones evoking nature overtaken by a hallucinatory landscape. It feels untamed, wild, and uncontrollable—a reflection of the mind unleashed by external substances. The blue, heart-shaped background around the two figures frames them in a shared context, possibly representing the mental or emotional sphere.

The golden backdrop elevates the entire composition, imbuing it with a sense of importance, while also suggesting the allure and danger of altered states. The juxtaposition of structured and unstructured forms plays on the dichotomy between rational thought and intoxicated chaos.

This artwork is as much a critique as it is a celebration of altered mental states—whether through substances, ideas, or experiences—and asks the viewer to reflect on the beauty, instability, and consequences of stepping beyond the bounds of normal cognition.
