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.

    If there’s one thing I can’t stand it’s the idea of touching my eyes or anything going near them, makes me go weak thinking about it. Braver man than me having them sewed shut!

    I’ve seen eyes sewn shut, and mouths, but never ears!
    I’d really like to see a close up of the ears.
