Gellért Thermal Bath, 2020

This thermal bath was being constructed in Budapest, Hungary as World War I was beginning, and was finished despite the stresses resulting from the war. It contains an abundance of late Art Nouveau imagery, and serves as a testament to a style that largely wanned after the onset of the war. The aquatic symbolism informs both the form of features such as the chairs and stairs, but also the sculptures adoring the fountains that depicting mermaids and cupids. The thermal bath is heated naturally within the earth and the mineral dense water possesses healing properties.
