Facts About Ayahuasca. The image is a composite featuring two distinct elements. On the left side, there is a close-up of ayahuasca-related items, including the Banisteriopsis caapi vine, green leaves, and a small cup of brewed ayahuasca tea. This portion has earthy tones, including shades of brown and green, with a textured overlay giving it an organic feel. On the right side, a young woman with long dark hair, wearing a gray hoodie and jeans, sits on the floor leaning against a door frame. She appears introspective or melancholic, gazing downward. The background is softly lit with neutral colors, contrasting with the warmer hues of the left side. The composition is divided with a rough, torn-paper effect blending the two elements together.
