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.

    Oh, what a shame, she’d look so pretty if she wasn’t so scarred up… 🙁
    Okay, I’m lying through my teeth. The scarification looks really great on her, and it’s beautiful piece.
