What is the meaning of スタンドプレイ in this sentence?


I know スタンドプレイ is the action of showing off, but what does it mean in this
sentence? Is it an action or an adjective?

> スタンドプレイで己の望むままに生きる。

My attempt: "He is an exhibitionist and he lives as he likes".

There isn't much context, it's just a character being presented. Thank you for
your help!




As you know, "スタンドプレイ" is Japanes English to mean "playing to the grandstand."
But I take "スタンドプレイで己の望むままに生きる" as "I live my own way by being self-
assertive."

"スタンドプレイ" is a noun, which can be verbalized as "スタンドプレイをする." But "スタンドプレイ"
here refers to one's hehavior and attitude rather than action.
