Cuming Out

Cuming Out explores the relationship between the gaze, the body, and authorship — what happens when a woman stops performing for the lens and begins to write herself back into being.

The performance unfolds through layers of exposure — physical, emotional, and technological — blurring pleasure with performance. It’s a story about reclaiming the body from the gaze, about learning to come in before one can truly come out.

Excerpt

My nights no longer filled with men,
Are steeped in eroticism—
The pencil, my desire,
The ink, my release.
I script my own story,
One that I no longer need to perform.

The pencil drives my thoughts,
Penetrating my inner world—
And the ink spills, alive with graphite cum.
I feel the pleasure of my mind unfurling,
A quiet orgasm of intellect.

One that comes not from
Touch and flesh,
But from a thought-filled mesh—
Electrified by ideas and imagination
Igniting the spark of creation.

Cuming Out is an ongoing performance project about unlearning the male gaze — a study of pleasure as authorship, vulnerability as rebellion, and softness as a radical act.
