S.I.T.E™ (Sensory, Immersion, Transition, Experience™) by Vara Kamin— formerly referred to as Vara Kamin’s Impressions of Light , Inc., VKI/IOL— seamlessly integrates over 25 years of Kamin’s knowledge and expertise in the healing arts, scientific insights gained from extensive installations, and the increasing societal emphasis on wellness.
Vara Kamin’s custom-curated installations are replicated from Kamin’s original works of art and have been providing innovative visual support to the architectural and design community since 1999.
Installations include a wide variety of environments but not limited to: healthcare, community respite spaces, educational, hospitality, and private residential settings. The paintings enhance environments for well-being by inviting curiosity, stimulating active imagination, and engaging the relaxation response through body-mind integration. The digital reproductions of these paintings have the ability to hold their integrity both at small and large scale along with applications on various substrates
Celebrating the universal human experience, Kamin’s paintings transcend cultural, social, and demographic boundaries; inviting individuals of all ages and ethnic backgrounds to explore their own personal encounter and find meaning within the art.
“Within the arts lies a powerful, but largely untapped force in healing. The arts and science are two sides of the same coin which is our shared humanity. Our ability to live fulfilling, healthy lives depend on bringing these two forces together.”
— Dr. Vivek Murthy, Surgeon General of the US
