Sebastian 1995

Health is a commodity we take for granted throughout our lives and then lose, without prior warning; only then do we learn to appreceiate its true value and do everything in our power to recuperate it.

Health has a direct biological, medical and social bearing; it is closely linked with education, is an important aspect of each country´s economy, and with each day that passes it is also becoming a political wol.

There is a clear reiterative interaction between poverty and illness; moreover, health, economic development and social development can mutually empower each other.

Health care covers numerous aspects: preventive medicine, curative medicine; in short rehablitation.

During their development, countries go through diverse epidemiological profiles that are closely related to their economic development.

The fundamental principle is equity and the lack of the latter, with regards to health, can have dramatic results; therefore, health is commodity that should be spread universally, since the the health of others ensures the protection of our own.

These epecific health aspects, which were discussed with the sculptor Sebastian some time ago, inspired him to create the beautiful mobile sculpture he calls "The Revolutions of Health".

The sculpture embodies a sphere through the use of three arches. These represent, says Sebastian, the biological, medical and social components that are inherent to health, as was stated earlier in this document. The ends of the arches are united by shafts that interweave and break off, symbolising the way health interactions affect each other.
