Hypn: Sleep - Hadiqa: Garden -Hypnotic: Tending to produce sleep.

Paradisial dream gardens drift upon threshold consciousness.

Hypnhadiqa is an experiment using imagery from hand woven rugs to represent hallucinogenic fantasmata encountered in the waning state of consciousness during the onset of sleep. The kaleidoscopic sequence, in this transitional state of reception, is intended to unlock the hypnagogic cognitive state of the viewer.
