Overtime the expectations of bodies has changed and this statue reminds us that all bodies are natural and beautiful. Choosing soft, warm hues and textures, the spaces keep a feeling of warmth and comfort. The use of curves in architecture, flooring, and furniture brings in a sense of movement. Incorporating natural selections, as well as natural light, aids in helping to keep patients and guests calm and the range of colors used provides a deep and interesting contrast throughout spaces.
