As an artist and entertainer, your talents live within you even if you step away from your stage. "The Performer" recalls the artist's history as a concert violinist for 15 years and confronts her unremoved passion for music, even after leaving the stage.

Artists transform when they are in their element. Ana Luca always thought the shape of her violin resembled the female body, so she painted "F hole" tattoos on her back to symbolize the violinist within, with raised arms representing the fingerboard. Nudity symbolizes the vulnerability that can accompany stage performing. You can feel naked sharing passion and emotional expression with an audience of strangers, not knowing how your performance will be received. After turning the lights off on her music career, she wondered whether an audience was necessary to validate that she was a musician or whether the act of playing music alone sufficed. She painted an empty auditorium to remind that - with or without an audience- we are artists. External audiences are not required to validate your relevance or legitimacy.
