Is revealing too much, too much?

I was talking with fellow students earlier about a piece of work that evoked the feeling of being vulnerable. We were discussing whether it was because the subject the work was based on - the subject of sex - was a taboo, a topic that some people aren’t too comfortable with talking about.

It is a taboo.

I’m a pretty open minded, laid back guy when it comes to talking about my feelings. I like to think the person I am bearing my soul to appreciates that.

When it comes to expressing ones sexuality through art, it can have many effects on the viewer. I know some people that if confronted with an intimate Tracy Emin confessional, after one look they would turn and run a mile (and some of these people claim they have taste…). 

Although, I also know some people who would embrace how they felt when they experienced one of her works. I know some people who would begin feeling things and would question why they felt these things, and why this piece of work has made them feel that way. 

This is why I think it is worth exposing your vulnerable side. 

And if that makes someone else feel vulnerable… GOOD
