A naked man sits on a short wooden table as an undressed woman crouches behind him. He is blindfolded, collared, and bound with black straps about his chest, arms, wrists, and feet, yet is holding a bunch of long-stemmed roses.
The happy smile on the woman’s face and the open, tall posture of the bound man in this photograph are simply beautiful. I love the romantic overtones shown here, because they somehow manage to retain hegemonic gender roles while decoupling the assumptions of power those roles often and needlessly imply.
