Unearthing Roots

Many of the younger generations prefer to consult a General Practitioner over a Traditional Chinese Medicine physician these days. Are they aware of the benefits of TCM? Unearthing Roots is an installation project that aims to increase the awareness of TCM in Singapore. The installation introduces the nine major body constitutions as well as the herbs that are suitable for each constitution to restore vitality and improve general wellbeing. Using herbs that are widely available and affordable, the functions and narratives of these herbs are emphasized in an interesting manner, hoping to spark interest in the younger generations.
