There is an intimate allure to the realm I've chosen, a world where bare skin and raw emotions intermingle, where there's a purely premium feel to everything, a palpable intensity that teases the senses. Being a performance artist, I let my body do the talking, express myself in an unspoken language of human connection. My audience, silent voyeurs in the darkness, provide an energy just as vital as my own, adding a weight to the air that zings with unspoken desire.
Every performance, I surrender to this electric exchange, letting myself be seen, truly seen, in a raw, vulnerable state. Even though the reality of my nakedness is daunting, there's a liberating quality to it. Freedom is found in surrendering, in openly sharing my physical form with the spectators who are drawn into my spectacle. There's a sort of raw unspoken power in knowing that my every move, every curve and flex of my body, every drop of sweat shimmering on my skin, is quietly observed, silently appreciated. The pleasure of being watched becomes a triumphant feeling of wonderment and pure connection. The compressed gazes of those hidden in the shadows do more than bare my body; they bare my soul, creating a sacred bond that's too profound to put into words.
Difficult as it might be for some to understand, I feel most alive and most myself when on stage, bathed in the warm spotlights. Because there, I am free. Free to express, free to provoke, free to challenge, free to expose and to hide simultaneously. I am a performer and an exhibition, a creature both on display and in control. My stage is a paradoxical universe where voyeurism and freedom cavort, giving birth to real, raw emotion. This life I lead as a performance artist, it's not for everyone, but it's just right for me. It's where I belong.  |
