Paris was my stage, my catwalk, my рџЋ® game board. I was merely 21, an upcoming Japanese performance artist, given the chance of my lifetime to exhibit at a renowned Parisian art gala. My fingers often ached from the ceaseless painting and sculpting, my body was a tangle of raw nerves, expectant of what was to come. I was working on my most significant piece so far, an exploration of dominance, a power exchange brilliantly captured in the still nature of plaster and the malleability of clay. The art world was a daunting beast, but I was eager, ready to prove myself. рџ–¤
In the weeks leading up to the gala, I'd been introduced to Damien, a prominent French art critic, his eyes, sharp as a falcon's, seemingly peered into my soul. His voice, a sultry French whisper, would send a chill running down my spine, or maybe it was the way he looked at me - like an enigma he intended to unravel. I was his latest conquest, his newest muse. His interest in me was as palpable as the tension building between us, our conversations always veering into the outline of my project, the dynamics of power I intended to portray. He'd critique and question, tease out the nuances I had buried in my work, and therein lay our power exchange. He was the critic, and I, the artist.
There was this one night that our usually intellectual discussions took a heated turn. We were in my cramped Parisian studio, a canvas across us, painting brushes in hand, vodka in our blood. In the dim lighting, his eyes shone with a distinct fire that reflected itself in the dark strokes on the canvas. It was just him and me, our breathing rhythmic with the strokes of our brushes. His hand brushed mine, our fingers tangling in a silent dance. The resistance gave way, the Vodka, or maybe our hidden desires made us bold. His lips met mine - it was a kiss as passionate as our debate earlier. His hands wandered and mine welcomed the intoxicating familiarity of his touch. He had me pinned against the wall, our brushes forgotten, canvas abandoned to the mercy of drips and accidental strokes. The power exchange was evident; the artist had become the muse.
In the days that followed, Damien and I explored the limits of our passion, our desires рџ”ћ, and our love. We became each other's most loved links to a world often lost in the complexity of art. Our dynamics shifted and tilted like a seesaw, sometimes I was dominant, other times he was. It was an exhilarating cocktail that intoxicated us both. On the night of the gala, I stood on the dimly lit stage, butterflies in my stomach. My art piece draped with a red velvet cloth, the anticipation was as thick as the silence enveloping the room. Damien stood nearby, as excited and nervous as I was. When I unveiled my creation, a hush swept the audience, their eyes widened, an audible gasp following my triumphant smile. My vision, my understanding of dominance, and power exchange was standing in all its majesty - a challenging portrayal of life imitating art, our art.
In that moment, I understood my journey as an artist – it was not just about creating art but about living through it. Life, like art, requires a balance of power, a give and take. 🪣 It needs understanding and patience, passion and relief. There's an intoxicating power found in the exchange, in stepping back, letting another be dominant, only to realize that true power lies within you. In the creation and curation of my art, in my relationship with Damien, I experienced this balance. Paris was more than my game board; it was the city where I learned to play the game.  |
