the binding within
This is not performance. This is rupture.
You’re not invited. You’re summoned.
You’re pulled in like a confession you never meant to say out loud. No mirrors. No playlist. No mood lighting. No small talk. Just a room that strips you clean without touching you.
The space was made for you.
Not in a sweet way. In a surgical way.
Cut to your shape. Lit to see everything you thought you hid.
The parts you’ve blurred, buried, bartered away. It doesn’t care if you’re ready. It cares if you’re real.
Your breath turns sharp. Your thoughts go feral. And your body — the one you manage, curate, defend — starts to say things you didn’t plan.
Not with words. With fists that won’t unclench. With shoulders that collapse. With silence so full it breaks skin.
You can stay wrapped. You can unravel. There’s no dress code for surrender. Only the invitation to stop lying.
Then the rope finds you. Not as decoration. As mirror. It holds you the way memory holds a bruise. It presses in. Pulls taut. It asks nothing — but it doesn't let go.
The camera doesn’t pose you. It doesn’t guide. It doesn’t flatter. It watches. Then it takes.
No retakes. No do-overs. Just silver and shadow and what’s left when the mask slips.
This isn’t digital. This is film. Each frame: a cost. Each one: a cut. You don’t get to see them. Not yet. Not until they’re ready to face you back.
After: Stillness. Rope slipping away. Breath that doesn’t sound like it belongs to you. Then: darkroom. Developer. Chemical reckoning. Ten images survive the process.
They are not made to please. They are not made to sell. They are not made to be shared.
They are what happened.
They arrive later. Wrapped. Weighted. Quiet as an aftermath. Ten prints. No digital. No archive. No safety net.
The rest is gone. Burned. Because this kind of truth doesn’t need a backup.
You will be the only one who sees them. No one else. Just your hands. Your breath. Your proof.
That you were here. That you let it in.
That something broke, and something else stepped through.

Q
What is The Binding Within?
A ritual of rope and film.
You will be bound. You will be witnessed.
You will receive ten hand-printed photographs. There are no digital files.
There are no second chances.
Is this safe?
Yes.
The rope is placed by practiced hands. The space is held with care.
You will have a safe word. You will not be pushed beyond your limits.
But what surfaces may not feel safe.
This is a space for surrender—not comfort.
Is this sexual?
No. This is not about seduction.
This is not for the gaze of others.
You may be nude, but not objectified. You may be aroused, or not at all.
The body responds how it needs to. There is no performance here.
I’ve never done rope before. Can I still come?
Yes.
You need no experience—only a willingness to be honest and open.
This is not decorative rope. It is not acrobatics. It is storytelling in tension and release.
Will I see the photos?
No.
You will not see previews. There is no screen. No retouching. No digital gallery.
You will receive ten prints, selected and made by hand.
They will arrive by mail in silence.
You may never know what the other images looked like.
Can I choose which images I receive?
No.
You are not commissioning portraits.
You are participating in a ritual. The photographs are chosen based on what emerged—not what flatters.
Can I get more than ten prints?
No.
There will only ever be ten. There will never be copies.
Can I have the negatives?
No.
You may request that they be burned.
If you choose this, you will receive a photograph of the destruction—or a small envelope of ash.
Will I be posed?
No.
You will be guided. Watched. Bound.
You will be asked to respond—not perform.
What if I cry? Or panic?
Then you cry.
Then we pause. Then we breathe. Then we continue—or not.
You are not here to impress. You are here to be seen.
What should I wear?
Whatever brings you closer to the edge.
Many choose to begin in a robe or nothing.
This is not about fashion. It is about shedding.
Will you post my photos?
Never.
There will be no social media posts without explicit, enthusiastic consent.
If you are never named, never shown, your ritual will still be held in full reverence.
How much does it cost?
$1500
This includes the session, the ritual materials, and ten hand-printed images.
