CREATE WITH PLEASURE is a conscious stance toward creation. It emerges from fatigue, pressure, and the demands of productivity that often blur the true meaning of making. This manifesto stands as a reminder that art and creative practice are fundamentally rooted in feeling—rather than merely targets, markets, or validation.

Pleasure here is not shallow luxury, nor is it an escape. Pleasure is the sense of sufficiency as the process unfolds, the feeling of presence when hands, mind, and intuition move in harmony. It is an act of honesty toward oneself: creating out of desire, not obligation. Reject the romanticization of suffering as the sole source of creativity. We believe that powerful work does not always emerge from wounds, but also from joy, curiosity, and lived experiences approached with awareness. Pleasure becomes a safe space for exploration—where mistakes are accepted, processes are valued, and experimentation is meaningful.

Within professional practice, CREATE WITH PLEASURE functions as an ethic. An ethic of working without self-exploitation, without sacrificing mental well-being, and without severing ties to personal values. The quality of a work is not measured by how much one is drained, but by how honestly the process is lived. This manifesto is also a positional statement: that one can remain disciplined without losing a sense of play; serious without losing enjoyment. Pleasure is not the opposite of responsibility—it is an indicator that the process is healthy.

This is a choice to be fully present in the creative process. To care for feeling, to respect time, and to allow work to grow organically. Because work born from pleasure does not merely reach completion—it lives, resonates, and offers space for anyone who encounters it to feel alongside it.
