Aqua Health Clinic gets rid of the ancient background of old medicine cabinets and smell of aged medicinal herbs. It attempts to use cosmetic SPA and technological atmosphere to twist the old impression of traditional Chinese medicine. It uses medical principles of pulse diagnosis and medication and food therapies as the approach to design specific treatment for visitors to relieve physical and psychological fatigue. This place enables people to jointly shape the contemporary 5-senses culture through space, diet, and SPA, as well as experience the ancient internal and external health cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine.
Our goal is to enable visitors receiving the diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine or SPA care to experience the tenderness in the environment rich in technological and medical principles. Such tenderness comes from the sense of slowness of detachment from time and space, refinement, and endless aftertaste from art.
The argument about time that is closest to people undoubtedly is life and death. We view specimens as the tangible carrier of time, which is exactly the same as the idea of Damien Hirst. There are kinds of traditional Chinese medicine plant and mineral specimens, they are statically placed in neatly arranged and glowing glass grids. The scent and taste that the medicinal materials should have released have been condensed and disappeared.
