Three black-and-white photographs show a rope suspension in progress. A man — lean, muscular, wearing only a jockstrap — is suspended upside down by his legs. His name is Coyote.
Thick rope binds his legs in a diamond futomomo — a folded position where the thighs are tied to the calves, creating diamond-shaped patterns across the outer legs. The rope is precise, symmetrical, and used as a foundation for suspension.
In the first image, Coyote’s entire lower body is off the ground, held from a single suspension point above. His arms are bent loosely, hands resting near his torso. His head hangs toward the floor. He is still. The rope holds everything. This is the beginning of the hold — breath, gravity, and agreement.
This is not spectacle.
This is practice.
And Coyote is not bound — he’s held.

In the second image, his position is the same, but he turns his head toward the camera. His face is calm, eyes open, aware. It’s not a performance — it’s presence. He is inside the rope, not just in it. His expression says: I know this place. We’ve been here before.
The background is minimal. No props, no distractions. Just rope, body, and floor. The hands that tied him are not shown, but the images speak of a shared rhythm — a practiced trust between rope top and rope bottom.

In the third image, his upper body has returned to the ground. His legs remain suspended, but one hand is bracing against the floor. His head is lowered. The descent is happening, slowly and with control. He is not falling — he is returning.

This is practice.
And Coyote is not bound — he’s held.

A Rope Study -
He gives his body to rope,
and I answer with structure.
Diamond futomomo. Suspension.
Stillness, tension, return.
It’s not performance.
It’s practice. And trust.
