Hallucinations
Rodrigo takes his work a step deeper by revealing visions via plant medicines, daydreaming and lucid dreams. Often dismissed as random images in the mind and washed away as reality sets back in, he reminds us to focus on the visions. Often a ‘witness’ is present and at times is bending reality to communicate with the viewer. Something often present in indigenous healing practices is the never ending channel we share with our ancestors.
