    (UMT.Lahore, 2022) AMNA AMAN
    Under the recognition of the thesis work the title has been taken from an art names as the psychedelic art that has been given the name from the Greek words the psyche which means the soul and the deloun which stood for to make it reveal, overall it generally stands for revealing the reflection of the soul and mind to listen itself by living in a world of fantasy. Basically it originated from the time of 1960s where the psychedelic drug has been used to create the art work with bright consciousness and with the depth of hallucinations. It has the wide spread vision into art, culture, music and visual representation of the person and its surroundings by neglecting the depressions and stress of the outer world to create their own world of peace, enlightenment and fantasy through the use of drugs like LSD. This art mainly comprises of the bold imagery of the 60s time by going against to the cultural reforms of the social and political views by presenting the world of fantasy, visual art, surrealism, distortion and fractal art which makes this art movement to be famous reflection of the1960s timeline. The time of the 60s was full of the social, political and the cultural revolutions in which this art movement made its own place with a sacred image of individual representation of soul. Psychedelic art is all about presenting the visions of a person’s choice to make it transformable by projecting it over the screens through art and cultural intellects, mainly representing the inner reality hidden somewhere. This art played a vital role in controlling the depression stress and mood swings of the people through the use of drugs. Later on, into the fashion world it marked a special place through the use of bold images, colors like neon, twisted and distortion of the prints and pattern having the fractal imagery of visibility along with the illusions. Into the practice of the psychedelic therapy, it mainly deals the patients with the drugs to control their emotions of hard image and make them able to reflect their inner peace and bright life. In association with the drugs the therapy includes the less communication of the patients with the therapists but includes the hallucinations made inside the mind in order to make the person to explore the inner strength and intensity of their own life. Today the world is in the same need of such therapies to control the depression and stress stages of the people due to the horrible imagery of the pandemic situation. Majority of the world has gone mad due to being banned to go anywhere as well as with less activity variables, people are facing the serious damage to health mind and soul. Along with many medium, the fashion world is taking a serious note over this and started to present such collection that are made of hallucinations, distorted imagery and illusionary stances to control the distortion of the people by showcasing them the future state of happy and progressive world through the use of illusions, vibrant colors, variable hallucinogenic prints and human representation to neglect the stress and have the forward eye towards future with the importance of subject moving on. I have taken this art as an inspirations for my fashion collection to reflect the mind stages of the human about how and why people face stress and depression and how we can control it without using the drugs. As the world is full of art today, therefore I have also implemented the same artistic influence to create such cut line representing bold figures, bright colors, illusionary cut lines and shapes along with the embellishments as well as the factor of freedom and fear free life is tag lined through my work. The whole process was quite confusing and tough but the effort behind this is to lower the stress and depression of the people through the use of artistic medium apart from the medicines and drugs in order to arise the importance of life and to highlight the factor of knowing the inner strength, value and progress of a person. This is all about the time about how it can be controlled to overcome the emotions, a person will start to feel lighten and full of colors with the new spirit of moving on with a new hope and charm of the life to make if better and worthy.
