We wanted to create a social commentary on drugs and mental health.
Additionally, we wanted to create a juxtaposition about the duality of escape vs reality and how altered perception changes the human experience.
In the haze of the 1970s, two young adults turn to LSD to escape their burdens ..
Time loosened its grip, and the weight of reality dissolved into color and sound.
As the colors drained away,Retrospection set in like a cold dawn—illuminating everything they had tried to blur.
Sometimes you must lose yourself to truly look within, only to discover that Fantasy Land was a fragile mirage—vanishing, and leaving nothing but the stark weight of self.
Distortion represents the idea of wrestling with your own mental health and the effects drugs can have on you positively or negatively. Regardless of your “trip” in the fantasy land, when its over, all that’s left is you.....and the comedown.
