Description: Explores the intersection of art, botany, and consciousness through a collection of vegetable samples, paintings, and drawings. The series Street Herbaries includes over 50 samples of entheogenic plants gathered from sidewalks in cities across Colombia and Mexico—Bogotá, Pereira, Guadalajara, Oaxaca, Cuernavaca, Nayarit, and Mexico City—mounted on colored paper sheets (21 x 28 cm), produced between 2019 and 2020. Plants such as Brugmansia, Ginseng, Ipomoea, Argemone Mexicana, and the Lisergic Rose are featured. The work HER (2021) continues this exploration with a 1 x 0.70 m collage composed of dried plant parts, flowers, and leaves collected from the streets, arranged on paper as a reflection on psychotropical biodiversity and everyday botanical encounters.
