Not finished. A dance that continues.
Lust is shape. Lust is sound. Lust is closeness.
EREIJTIC ❦ Shape of Lust
when the body dances
It begins softly.
A sound, a rhythm, a whisper in the in-between.
Something that won’t let the body sit still, that carries it, moves it.
Suddenly there is no outside anymore ~ only one feeling: lust.
The Shape ~ Train-in-Form
“Shape of Lust” began as an exploration of the body.
Poses, expressions, lines, shadows.
Every posture a trace of emotion.
Every movement a moment of surrender.
I wanted to know:
How does lust show in a face?
How does it dance in the body’s shape?
How much closeness lies in a small touch?
This as a the foundation ~ a collection of forms that were more than just bodies.
They were imprints of sensuality.
Stations in a train....
These and other questions are what I want to explore through this project ~
always on a journey, sometimes waiting at the station, sometimes already on board.
A train as a metaphor for movement, departure, curiosity… and the sparks in-between.
The Sound ~ Lust in Vibration
But at some point, the image wasn’t enough.
What I was searching for began to sound.
From images came songs, from gestures melodies.
I wrote, played, whispered ~ and realized:
The same lust that lives in pictures also lives in sound.
Sometimes as a wave that carries you.
Sometimes as a gentle pause, a breath.
Music is lust you can hear.
And I lost myself in it so deeply, I disappeared for weeks ~ one with tone, one with surrender.
A Voice
A voice from the community reminded me of my project and spoke in images that resonated with me: of waiting at a train station, of moments of motion… watching and searching. Of the curiosity of always leaving and returning because the next step awaits… ^^
While you were waiting, I heard your sound.
Not loud ~ but resonating within me.
From that resonance, melodies were born. Sounds that became audible, sounds I now share.
Perhaps they let you pause at the platform, close your eyes, enjoy yourself ~ and already dream the next step.
Naked ~ without a mask
Being naked doesn’t mean without fabric.
Being naked means: without a mask.
Without the little roles we play for others.
Just there. Just me.
That is my shape of lust:
real, sometimes whispering, sometimes roaring,
sometimes pouring like a waterfall, sometimes calm like a pond ~
but always tangible.
My imaginary crown jewels?
They are only a metaphor for the sparkle everyone carries inside ~
precious, invisible, undeniable.
Lust is that sparkle, when you stop hiding it.
When you show it, without shame, without disguise.
Raw and uncut… every stone hides a sparkle.
And if jewels are said to be a girl’s best friend,
then I’m simply grateful for my imaginary crown jewels. ✨
Surrender ~ All In
Erotic art has never been “just porn” for me.
It is what the word itself says: sensual ~ sense and self.
In German, we say sinnlich: Sinn & Ich ~ sense with me.
That describes exactly what lust is for me:
an All-In.
No half-wanting, no hesitation.
You don’t give yourself away ~ you give yourself in.
You let yourself be carried, ride the wave, merge with sound, with form, with feeling.
You feel the whisper not only in your ear ~ but beneath your skin.
When the body dances
“Shape of Lust” is not finished.
It is a dance that continues.
Sometimes visible in pictures.
Sometimes audible in sound.
Sometimes palpable in words like these.
When lust is there, you know it immediately.
You cannot sit still.
You want to move, merge, dive in.
The body dances ~ and in that dance it shows:
Lust is shape. Lust is sound. Lust is closeness.
More to come
Now I have found my sound.
“Shape of Lust” let me dive deeper than I ever expected ~ not only into a theme, but into myself. Sensual. All in.
And yet I resurface ~ with treasures I want to share.
If you have lust, stay curious with me. For what? When I hear the whisper, I’ll let you know.
And if I disappear again, know that I’m just a little explorer –
always searching for the hidden treasures:
the sparks in the In-Between.
🤍
may ur senses wander freely...
