Manifesto of Pleasure

I work at the threshold of art and attire, where clothing becomes a language of pleasure, attitude, and intimacy. My practice is an exploration of human behaviour looked at through pleasure - not as something frivolous, but as a force that unsettles, provokes, and transforms.

To stand courageously in what I know and how I see the world is essential. Pleasure is often met with fear, judgement, or dismissal, but I pursue it anyway. Debate is not a danger - it is the lifeblood of art.

There are no final answers, only questions. Questions shift, dissolve, reappear in new forms. The solution lies in doing, not in delay. To make is to confront. To show is to risk rejection. And rejection, too, is a response.

Art should be adversarial. It should press against complacency, disrupt comfort, and demand reflection. Images are not decoration; they are instruments that process experience and create altered states. To be psychologically moved is to respect the work, and to glimpse, however briefly, another way of seeing.

Against the British “stiff upper lip,” I centre pleasure in its broader philosophical weight. Intimacy, role play, and connection become strategies for a deeper engagement with life. This is not “been there, done that” consumption. This is STOP. SLOW DOWN. ENGAGE.

The work is adversarial, not subversive - it opposes without merely undermining. Pleasure, when represented, is too often deemed objectionable. Such disapproval reveals more about fear than about art. To confront the realities of connection and intimacy is to awaken life’s enigmatic truths. Without this confrontation, there is no authentic progression in society.

What matters is not whether the work is right or wrong, liked or disliked, but how it makes you feel, and how you carry those feelings afterwards. Can it alter your worldview, remind you of your own life, shift the way you relate to yourself?

I reveal myself to you, vulnerable to your judgement. In return, I ask you to risk reflection.

This practice celebrates the joy of intimacy, the warmth of connection, the playfulness of desire. Celebrate pleasure. All of life is beautiful.
