For my sexuality and sexual constructions class, I decided to tackle one of my favorite things in the entire world: menstruation. I think there are very, very few things that embody the concept of social construction like the shame, fear, and disgust that surrounds menstruation, particularly in the US.

I’m really fascinated in particular by the fear of leaking, and the idea of creating images like this wouldn’t leave my alone. I’m so happy with it.

I’m actually kind of fascinated by this project because it’s not the typical *YAY PERIODZ*/white cis feminism art I see all over the place. 

I like thinking about the anxiety of it and where it comes from. and how little sense the enormous fear makes when you take it out of social context.

It would be nice to see a diversity of bodies though.
