Contemporary medical research shows that microdoses of LSD can moderate mood swings and boost creativity, guided psilocybin mushroom consumption can offer relief for depression and addiction, and that both substances can expand how we perceive the universe and our place in it. Our pattern, Panel of Perception II, is an exploration of psychedelic plants that alter consciousness in both humans and animals.

The psychoactive powers and formal beauty of these botanicals, including the yagŽ vine (a key ingredient in Ayahuasca), fly agaric mushrooms, poppies and moonflowers, captivate our imagination. The layout for our design is inspired by traditional tree of life motifs, images of trees with winding branches, ample fruit, trailing flowers and animal guests that symbolize knowledge and enlightenment.

As such, the tree of life is a fitting symbol for opening, in the words of William Blake, Òthe doors of perception". *The plants in Panel of Perception II vary in hallucinogenic strength and toxicity, but they can be dangerous to human health; in other words, don't try these at home!
