Reverie Rebirth
BY YAN MIRANDA MAYER
Yan Miranda’s project explores healing, ecological preservation, and Brazil’s natural heritage through his transformative experiences with psilocybin mushrooms. During his journey in Brazil, Yan Miranda reconnected with nature and communicated with Afro-Brazilian divinities like Yemanjá, receiving messages not only for personal healing but also for ecological preservation.
Using AI to interpret his visions, emotions, and silent dialogues with these spiritual beings, Yan Miranda blends synthetic and organic elements in his work. Experimental techniques like infrared film and burning negatives amplify the fragility and beauty of endangered landscapes, turning his art into a call for environmental protection.
