A great vsual archive of Eastern Medicine packaging by photojournalist Simon Go. Hong Kong Apothecary, a book that transports us to the exotic world of Eastern medicine, a world of oils, powders, pills, and cures for every known ailment from impotency to opium addiction.

He draws upon elements such as light, water, ice, fog, arctic moss and lava rock to create works that shift viewer perception and sense of place.
