Ayahuasca didn't work. This image juxtaposes two distinct elements: on the left, a close-up of ayahuasca ingredients, including twisted vines and green leaves, along with a bowl of dark brown liquid; on the right, a young woman with long dark hair in casual clothing sits against a wall, looking pensive. The composition uses a collage effect with textured, torn-paper edges separating the two sides, creating a visual representation of contrast—perhaps between expectation and reality or nature and emotion. The earthy greens and browns on the left contrast with the muted indoor lighting on the right, reinforcing the division.
