Hello, Friend!

My name is Viamonte Sherman. Welcome to Mirth & Decadence, a creative portfolio shaped by a fascination with the tension between joy and indulgence, between what is fleeting and what endures.

The work draws deeply from an ongoing study of philosophy, not as an academic exercise alone, but as a way of paying closer attention to experience. Questions about meaning, perception, beauty, and excess quietly inform both the images and the writing, giving shape to what might otherwise pass unnoticed.

Alongside this, interviews serve as another way of learning—an opportunity to step into other perspectives, to understand how different people create, think, and make sense of the world. These conversations are less about conclusions and more about curiosity, about following a thread wherever it leads.

This is, at its core, a lifelong project. Not a finished body of work, but a continuous practice of noticing, collecting, and sharing. The aim isn’t to arrive somewhere definitive, but to document what feels compelling along the way.

In that ongoing process, there’s a quiet invitation to be present. To slow down enough to notice what is already here, to find value in what is incomplete, unresolved, or still becoming. The act of engaging, of looking, reading, reflecting, becomes its own kind of reward. The enjoyment doesn’t need to be finished to matter; it’s meaningful precisely because it’s happening now.

Everything here is shared for its own sake...because it resonates, because it lingers, because it feels worth holding onto a little longer.
