In creating connections not separations, the visible and the invisible boundaries between the seen and unseen, objective and subjective, physical and phenomenal give way to the fluidity, transparency, and shimmering qualities of water. As we follow the free flowing lines, left to right, right to left, up to down, and down to up, from positive to
negative, from tangible to intangible, from near to far, and back again. This mediation in time and space acts as a meditation, slowly starting to relax our thoughts and calm our emotions.

These photographs of Therme Vals transport us to the primordial space of this spa in Vals, Switzerland, by Peter Zumthor, 2009 laureate of Pritzker Architecture Prize. Similar to the Therme itself, by dematerializing materiality, their fluidity suspends our judgment and brings the deep meaning of health and sustenance to our experience.
