Menstruation is a quiet rhythm, a cycle of expectation, relief, discomfort, and endurance. It marks time, brings reassurance, yet often arrives with pain, exhaustion, and the weight of emotions beyond control. Some seek to silence it with hormones, while for others, it carries the promise of life.
Blood has many faces - it is shame and secrecy, but also warmth and renewal. It stains, it seeps, it betrays, exposing what is taught to be hidden. A sudden bloom on denim, a familiar dread. A moment of humiliation in a world that deems the natural unclean.
This work reclaims the stain. Soft Velvet, silk and shimmering gemstones transform the unwanted into something precious. The deep reds and fluid textures embrace what is often concealed, turning discomfort into presence, shame into power. Menstruation is not an imperfection - it is a reality, raw and unfiltered.
