this month is a project about the female cycle that communicates what is going on with our emotions, the relationship with our bodies and how our mood and energy levels vary throughout the cycle. It is extremely valuable to understand what is going on with our bodies to make sense of our emotions, why we may be feeling low, heavy, easily drained, angry and emotional. To take extra care of ourselves, be kind to ourselves, allow to be feeling how we feel without judging ourselves. The project however does not only focus on the pain and the heavy emotions people with menstrual cycles experience over and over every month, it shows also the relief of experiencing the period and feeling lighter and more energetic throughout the first half of the cycle. When feeling good in our bodies, we must embrace it and valuate it.

The artworks of this project are a gentle reminder for everyone who experiences a menstrual cycle, to observe and connect with this part of oneself, to be kind to ourselves in heavier phases and to embrace how we feel. Going through this, over and over again, shows how we are so, so strong.

The project is put together in form of a 32 paged book and fore large screen print versions representing the light phase, the period and the heavy phase (pms) of the cycle.
