Beauty in a hospital aids the cure.
Color photography, coupled with nature, acts as a healing medium on a conscious level as well as on subliminal levels. Reproductions of scenes in nature give off a healing energy, and colors have the ability to calm or excite. Therefore, the use of nature photography in a hospital is a powerful therapeutic agent.
