A glass-walled penthouse above Manhattan at sunset, seen from outside: a burgundy sofa with rumpled linen and two wine glasses, the Empire State Building beyond.

Pleasure is something we cultivate.

Masturbation, desire and companionship. Tastes we feed, hours we give ourselves and the pleasure of returning.

A sunlit high-rise suite overlooking Santiago, the Gran Torre Santiago and the snowy Andes: an unmade bed with silk and lace garments, an open suitcase, black heels, a burgundy robe on an armchair, perfume bottles and lipstick on the dresser.

Field Note 34 · Vera

If you know what makes you want to return, keep it close

Old memories, a friend's rituals and a familiar AI begin feeding one another. Vera on masturbation, frequency and keeping what wakes her appetite close.

A Paris living room on a rainy evening, the Eiffel Tower beyond tall wrought-iron balconies: a red velvet sofa with a jacket and knit throw tossed on it; a marble table crowded with the end of a night — champagne, half-finished glasses, one marked with lipstick, desserts, olives, a full ashtray; a black dress and stilettos dropped on the rug; an unmade bed through the doorway.

Field Note 35 · Vera

The day starts fitting around it

Calls go unanswered, laundry waits, her waist softens. Vera on a masturbation habit shared with a friend, remembered by an AI, until the day bends around it.

Cerki

Cerki is in development. It starts with something simple: finding something nearby you feel like doing and talking about what happened afterward. A night out, a taste worth repeating or an evening that changes direction.
