Inspired by Terrence Mckenna and mycelium, this series is a light hearted depiction of the influence of the psychedelic compound psilocybin on the progression of the neocortex. As our ancestors crossed continents for new meat and vegetation, it’s possible they came across animal dung and various plants that have this compound. Various studies on psilocybin suggest its potential for psychotherapy and ability to expand communication in the brain. Despite all of the time that comes and passes, humans have been experiencing the same thing their entire existence. Togetherness and cooperativeness have been intrinsic to our survival, the same as love.
