About Us

The Symbolism of A TREE

Our work is grounded in the symbolism of a tree. We belief that art, nature, and aesthetics are powerful resources (The Roots) for promoting well-being and flourishing (The Trunk) for individual, organisations, and communities (The Branches). We approach our work with a deep commitment to creating environments and experiences that nurture the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

The Three Key Elements Rooted in Our Philosophy 
ART:  Art is deeply connected to our human existence, serving as a fundamental way to express, explore, and making sense of the world. Engaging with art—whether by creating or appreciating it—helps us process emotions, reduce stress, find hope and build resilience in adversity. It allows us to explore our identities, challenge our perceptions, and find meaning in our experiences, all of which contribute to a more purposeful and fulfilling life.

NATURE:  Nature is an intrinsic part of our human existence, grounding us and reminding us of our connection to the world. Time spent in natural settings and interacting with natural elements can significantly reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve mental clarity, boosts our mood, and strengthens our immune system. Nature helps us reconnect with ourselves, find balance, and achieve a sense of harmony.

AESTHETICS:  Exposure to beauty stimulates our bodily senses, which can improve mental clarity and emotional balance. This creates a calming effect that benefits both our mental and physical health. Additionally, such experiences often evoke a sense of transcendence, connecting us to something greater than ourselves. This not only fulfills a deep human need for meaning and connection but also enriches our overall sense of existence.

The Salutogenesis Approach
We work under the framework of the salutogenesis approach, which is focused on fostering good health and well-being rather than merely preventing illness. Unlike traditional approaches that often concentrate on diagnosing and treating diseases, salutogenesis is about understanding what creates and supports health (resource-oriented). It views health is a dynamic state influenced by our environment, lifestyle, and mindset. It emphasizes resilience and the ability to adapt and thrive, even in the face of challenges.

APPLICATION: In our work, we use this approach to create a space that actively promotes well-being. By integrating art, nature, and aesthetics into our designs and practices, we help individuals and communities build resilience, find joy, and maintain balance in their lives.
