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.

Two Flowers

Care of Nyne (mentioned here before), these “he loves me (not)?” flowers are by Trish at Electroladylux in Vancouver, Canada.

    I REALLY love her tattoo designs. All very original, all very cool.

    For those who also find it hard to read the caption after ‘Figure B’, it’s ‘anticipation’. (I had to look on her iam page, lol.)

    Also check out her fucking cool Love/Life designs on her calf.

    hahaha, pessimistic? that wasn’t the intent at all 🙂

    more so just showing the duality of the flower: on one hand it’s just a flower with a few missing petals (for whatever reason) and on the other hand, the “simple” flower becomes a relic — infused with childhood silliness + uncertain expectation. you’d note that the “not” petal is missing, anyway; if you want to get technical.

    imposed bitterness is in the eye of the beholder, perhaps?

    i love them!
