Holly Stapleton's work aims to explore rituals of indulgence and full-presence. It casts warm light on mundane practices, engulfing them in renewal. It encourages the romantic act of noticing.
Indulgence can be very simplistic if we are intentional about what we bring our awareness to. It can be easy to dissociate through the in-between moments, but they’re often the richest facets of our lived experience, if we fully embrace what it means to tune-in.
