Conjunction is a visual invocation of the Age of Aquarius—a moment when rock & roll became more than sound: it became a portal. This piece channels the psychedelic surge of the 1960s, where music, mind, and myth fused into a countercultural awakening.

At the top, Aquarius—the Water Bearer—pours forth the metaphysical current of change. Below, a diagram of the mind suggests the architecture of altered states: numbered zones of cognition, perhaps shaped by rhythm, rebellion, and ritual. The background melts and drips in fluorescent hues, echoing the graphic language of Haight-Ashbury’s psychedelic posters and the chromatic intensity of San Francisco’s Summer of Love.

The botanicals bloom with dual meaning: they evoke the organic flourishing of the counterculture and the psychoactive plants that fueled its expansion—weed, LSD, mushrooms. These aren’t just flowers; they’re emblems of transformation, of consciousness blooming beyond the bounds of tradition.

Rhinestones shimmer across the canvas like sonic sparks—visual echoes of music’s ecstatic pulse. In the History of Rock & Roll series, they serve as chromatic notation, marking rhythm, intensity, and cultural resonance.

Conjunction is where it all meets: myth and mind, sound and substance, rebellion and ritual. It’s a chart of convergence, a psychedelic map of how rock & roll rewired the world.
