“Every month, more than two billion people around the world menstruate”, yet it is still seen as something we should keep a secret. The Menstrual Body aims to fight against this narrative and believes it should be something to be embraced. Through exploring the cyclical nature, we see different cycles flow. The Menstrual Body aims to help start those conversations that have been made difficult for so long. The series consists of two large banner prints and a collage in the middle that portrays a year of periods – using different collages, no two being the same, we see a visual representation of menstruation.
