A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Gentle Cuttings

Venis In Fur sends in her scarification by Ighlif. I’d be interested to know how old the cutting is because it doesn’t look like it was cut very deeply. It’s definitely a nice interpretation and placement considering the normal scarification in this area on women tends to be flowers or some other flowing piece. This one flows nicely and the placement is very fitting.

Included in her submission was the following quote:

“art cannot be modern. art is primordially eternal. to restrict the artist is a crime. it is to murder germinating life.”

    I thank again Ighlif for his good work on me.

    Tha scar is four months old.
    The cut was pretty deep but my skin has the power to regenerate like the Alien’s one.

    Just for the record: you mispelled my nickname!!!
