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.

    Amazing. I love the words … their style … and the meaning they can have … not just to the wearer, but to anyone who sees them. Well Done!!!

    I love the way that the text curves gracefully, without looking… wobbly?
    It would be nice to see some pictures when it’s healed.
