Breathtaking Psychedelic Firework And Ocean Scenes Capturing Fractals, Shifting Colors And Rhythmic Patterns Of Altered Perception

Photon Tide, also known as Pho, is a mixed‑media digital artist whose work focuses on psychedelic, experimental visions of beaches, skies and inner landscapes as metaphors for human consciousness and emotion.

He describes himself as “looking into the void, pulling out the pieces,” and uses heavily edited photography with Photoshop and Procreate to turn real locations (often Californian coastlines) into surreal, color‑warped dream scenes.

Pho is fascinated by digital decay and lost media—forgotten websites, vanished videos and the way online culture erodes—which feeds into glitchy, dissolving textures and a sense of nostalgic unease. Many works, such as “The beach on psychedelics,” “Fireworks on psychedelics,” “Psychedelic Hues,” “Face Yourself,” “Infected,” and “Echo Chamber,” explore solitude, anxiety, inner poison, and self‑confrontation through trippy color, fractal‑like distortions and atmospheric compositions. He often writes reflective captions about not fearing what’s inside your mind, accepting chaos and recognizing how little control we truly have.
