Healing Restoration Connection

Although the elderly can heal most wounds, they have a slower healing process, and all phases of wound healing are affected. The inflammatory response is decreased or delayed, as is the proliferative response.

Introduction to modern technology, new friends/ community, and private bathing are efforts for restoration in elders. The three each establishes movements of independence in a senior citizens' life.

Loneliness and isolation introduce many health care problems for aging adults. Engaged in a community provides positive connections to and promote overall impaired health.

As night meets day, dawn is the arbiter of their connection connection. Filled with the possibility of newness of newness,, the serenity of dawn is curiosity and hope as the luxury of night turns to the day.

Color theory is defined as “a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual effects of a specific color combination”. This piece of furniture, known as “Aura” is a physical representation of color theory and the effect that color can have on human well-being. Additionally, being that color and interior design go hand in hand, paint becomes a large part of the equation. “Aura” utilizes paint stirs and paint swatches to emphasize this idea in combination with color theory. These stirs and swatches play a large role in formulating and selecting colors in interior design, becoming an integral part of the design process.
