BECOME A GOD WITH IT
Become a God With It explores menstrual stigma and the ways menstruation has been represented through religion, history and culture. Starting from research into menstrual pain and historical beliefs surrounding menstruation, I questioned why a natural bodily process has often been associated with shame, impurity and restriction.
I reinterpreted religious imagery and ritual through a feminist perspective, transforming menstruation from something hidden or stigmatised into something powerful and sacred. The project developed through illustration, typography, image-making and material experiments, leading to a series of ritual posters, publications, fabric books, installations and costume design.
