Enhanced Well-being – Achieving a state of wellness at home is vital.  Installing EDA Surf Art in the home can bring individuals closer to this state and faster then non-natural based art.  Studies show that In the built environment, artworks depicting nature can contribute to a human’s well-being (Daykin et al., 2008).

Satisfies Desires – Visions of water have a powerful effect on humans across the population.  Some say this is due to our collective biological desire to be in a natural environment, typically one that has water in it.  So when we occupy the built environment we are naturally out of our natural comfort zone (EO Wilson 1984).  Installing EDAsurf Art subliminally satisfies and brings the viewer closer to a natural state, thus enhancing mood and general well-being.

Improved Attention – Typically it takes individuals 15-20mins to get to a state of attention where ‘work’ can be conducted effectively, however this state can be ruined in seconds with life’s distractions.  It is now known that simply looking at elements of nature, and more specifically water can rapidly bring an individual back to an attentive working state.  Attention Restoration Theory (ART) asserts that people can concentrate better after looking at pictures of nature (Kaplan’s 1995).

Make An Impression – Studies show the most remembered aspect to any business is not the furniture, paint, or even the receptionist, it is the art (Harris, McBride, Ross, & Curtis 2002).  EDA Surf Art will leave a modern visual impact with customers and staff while holistically branding the business in a subtle effective manner (Hathorn et al., 2008).
