English Version | Carpe Diem

What if we gave in to every whim, even if it was just for 24 hours? What if we let indulgences take up every slot in the daily schedule, with no breaks for obligations or demands of (adult) life? What if the whole day was a playground for the excesses that give us the most pleasure, hedonism taken to the extreme, our most intimate fantasies, without thinking about being restrained or disciplined? What if the journey was an endless feast, washed down with the sumptuousness of decadent desserts, painted in lust and luxury without judgments, a sinful day without sentence or damnation, only focused on the desires of the self? And if this is all hedonism, then is hedonism self-care? Photography by Katia Wik. Styling by Adelaida Cue Bär.
