For this piece I used the narrative and cryptical features of painting, similar to the old western tradition where these praised objects were used to tell mystical stories while encapsulating ideas inside symbolic elements.
The painting displays a violet colored woman lying on her side as a main character, she is lying on the floor of an old wood dock. The color indicates that she could be dead, but judging on the position it also can be guessed that she is just sleeping, maybe dreaming. Looks like the dock is above a green/magenta mass of water that looks transparent and ethereal. The scenery looks dreamy and everything suggests that she's experiencing a different state of mind, similar to the one of the dream world.
Hanging on her neck there's a Datura Stramonium flower also known as The Devils Trumpetand widely known because it has hallucinogenic properties caused by he scopolamine alkaloid (main active psychoactive in Toloache).
On the low left corner, there's a Moly reference in the form of text. Moly is a mythical plant referenced in the Greek Epic The Odyssey, it seems that the greeks used this plant as an antidote. In the modern times, this mythical plant is associated with the Allium moly plant which contains Galantamine , alkaloid widely used for the treatment of Alzheimer and glaucoma (pictured in the upper right corner of the painting). Galantamine is also used by some people to induce lucid dreams. This painting is named after this last chemical.
