About The Event
INTO ME YOU SEE (Intimacy)
Two people, bound by fear, shame, and repression, reveal their journey toward creative freedom and self-acceptance. Guided into intimacy through the provocative lens of BDSM and kink, Vesta Flame and her muse challenge deep-rooted familial and societal conditioning, risking the loss of everything known and safe. As they push the boundaries of vulnerability and desire, they confront the terror of exposing their most primal selves, integrating our dual natures of masculine/feminine, dark/light within, where the lines between pain, pleasure, and love blur.
BIO:
Vesta Flame (she/her) is a multidisciplinary creatrix channeling the unknown parts of Self through conscious kink and BDSM art. Capturing moments of intensity, the emotional landscape of surrender is witnessed through various mediums-- photography, writing, videography, audio, and live experiences.
An explorer of consciousness, Vesta navigates the tension between the desire for convention and rebellion, harmonizing societal expectations with her desire to explore all aspects of Self through the depths of taboo and kink, which have fascinated her since youth.
A complex, religious, muted upbringing and the consequent lifelong healing journey contribute to her penchant for power dynamics, transformation, and play. She craves to understand her own past painful experiences, transforming the energy into presence, beauty, and ART for new stories to unfold.
