One drop of experiment and I realize the beauty of the pain, the value of the period, fertilizing my whole being. The periodic elimination of my ovum with my menstrual flow inspired me to give birth to something which has a biological
The periodic elimination of my ovum with my menstrual flow inspired me to give birth to something which has a biological end, and to create the start of the end.
Tools: tampon, fingers. Materials/substances: menstrual flow, canvas. Duration: 9 months.
More info: behance.net
Month 1
More than 50 shades of red, and the continuous transformation of it, reaching a fragile color palette with that innocent attitude.
Month 2
Month 3
“I’m a bit shy…don’t expect to see my genital…don’t have expectations at all. Just accept me independently from my sexual orientation, my skin tone or my religious views…”
Month 4
The value of the period turns into some strange shape, and the drop gets larger and larger, reserving the whole canvas residency…
Month 5
“Look at this simple canvas, the comfortable womb of mine, which makes me stay so long, maybe forever…”
Month 6
Another month… and the invasion of the drops rapes the virgin surface of the canvas.
Month 7
What’s in your mind? Curiosity? Admiration? Disgust? Too many thoughts? Nothing at all? Maybe the same essential substance that you can see here outlining my head shape…
Month 8
“I can feel the tension and your unpleasant pain, but I’m looking forward to be born, to be the start of your end…”
Month 9
“The last month, and there’s no chance to be lost…”
When an ‘ovum dies’ an artwork is born
“I have no preconceptions, no expectations, but I know I have a mission, even if I can’t see, talk or breathe, but you can see, talk, and even breathe instead of me too…”
The organic connection between the artwork and the artist
The maternal instinct… the newborn… the essence.
The special tool and the special substance
Feeling complete
My first self-portrait masterpiece of menstrual flow.

Girl calm down, it's her art let her do what she wants

It actually does become a conversation, a deeper thought, now typing this I wonder how painful it must be to have that monthly reminder that you are not going to be lucky this time, maybe next time, maybe never ...I went and spun myself right in on myself with this one. The artist did exactly what art is meant to do, it made me think, it made me see something I will now wonder about, something that makes me feel sorrow, and also an understanding. I answered myself apparently.

Load More Replies...Oh that is gross! I am a woman and i do not need the period blood to be proud of being a woman. I am a human being also should i use urine or other body discharges as well to do some art? It is dirty blood for god s sake. Just throw it away with your tampons and find something else to do as a woman. Being a woman is not just consist of giving birth or being a mother. This disgusting things just underrate the value of being a woman.
I find myself agreeing with you Naz. It seems that most art from women that is meant to be "profound" deals with periods or birth. Sure, back in the earlier days of modern feminism, it made sense to show off things like menstruation, because it was considered so "taboo" to even talk about, but nowadays most people aren't so prudish, so it's, well, gross, but what else? Basically, I'm trying to say that it's not so unusual anymore; the art world has already been so "shocking" that "shocking" has become overdone.

Load More Replies...As I expected... both hot and cold :) I know it is strange, but why? only because of the mentrual flow? oh come one guys! this artwork has it's value due to the blood!! try to pay attention on the main concept, on the message of this work which is deepest than you can imagine...you should give a chance to think about the real and original birth of an artwork! I feel so proud of my ''baby'' ! Thank you for all your positive and negative feedback and all my respect to whom understood the main idea of my work! You are brave guys!
I really liked this, I find it interesting and it makes one think, just as art should do. I think it is a beautiful painting and you are brave! There is nothing wrong with some period blood and you made something beautiful with it :)
