Indulgence can be empty, but it can also be the place where art becomes painfully honest. Moving from the critique of indulgent aesthetics into Before Sunset, Umnia makes the case for work that indulges romance, yearning, philosophy, and unsaid feeling until it reveals something specific and true.
Prompt: Write down the thing your work is most tempted to indulge — romance, anger, beauty, grief, desire, philosophy — and ask what would make that indulgence honest rather than decorative.
