The the main hall in the hospital got a metamorphosis by the artwork. It complies to the philosophy of "Healing Environment" and "The importance of art according to Planetree ': a pleasant environment contributes positively to the healing process. It contributes significant to the well-being of patients, staff and visitors.
The image on the windows in the semicircular space depicted a surreal landscape under and above water. The water is not direct visible, therefore everything seems to float. This reinforces the dreamy and surrealistic atmosphere.
