Everything in the universe is made up of fluctuating combinations of the five elements. The relationship between elements can be constructive or destructive, advancing or restraining, and carries a meaningful and vital connection to the natural world. The energy of your environment interacts with and influences your personal energy. Meanwhile, you contain your own individual mixture of each of the five elements, which manifest in different ways of being, behaviors and circumstances. Balancing the changing “elements” in your environment and self is essential. (inner and outer world interacting)

Using symbolic and literal representations of the elements Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire, we adjusted the energy flow in this living room to enhance the natural vibrancy of the space.
