Purple Haze

A haunting, multi-mouthed portrait dominated by shades of lush purple and lilac. The enormous eye reflects a starry, blue inner world, while the fur-like textures and multiple mouths—each with tiny, detailed teeth and braces—create a feeling of sensory overload and fragmented identity.

• Psychedelic Interpretation: This represents the dissolution of the unified self, where the familiar face breaks into component parts. The multiple mouths symbolize the difficulty in communication or the cacophony of inner voices, while the moon-filled eye is the "third eye" opening to an internal, nocturnal universe.

• Spiritual Journey: This is a confrontation with the spiritual shadow—the journey of accepting the grotesque, the flawed, and the hidden aspects of the self. The focus on the mouth and the words spilling out suggests the spiritual work of authenticity and speaking one's truth, no matter how fragmented that truth may feel.
