English Version | Lust for love

Love. Self, for one another, or the sexual kind. Love. In all sizes, colors, without condition, weight or measure. Excessive love, platonic love, love as classic as the paintings that inspire the images on the pages that follow. Love, that word that is confused with both pleasure and pain, could not be a more hedonistic symbol: in its purest and most reciprocated state, it is the archetype of pleasure that minimizes sorrows, that fills and overflows, that has its can’t-quite-put-my-finger-on-what-it-is of something delicate, as much as of something lascivious. This love, pleasure-love, which is confused with lust, but which is actually a luxury to suffer from it. Creative direction by Marcia Lennona. Photography by Marcelina Dvorak. Styling by María Dávila.
