Description: As a Caribbean woman, I have seen how menstruation intersects with cultural shame and financial pressure. Here lies the flowering beauty and flowing despair of the menstrual cycle. A radiant woman gazes at the towering sky caught between two emotional realities. On one eye, tears falling downwards represents blood red stains of the societal pressure and shame placed upon women to fear this natural safe cycle. Yet, on her other eye, she blossoms in the flowering state of acceptance, beauty and femininity. This blooming season is her rebirth of being a woman. Behind her, local currency bills hide in the background highlighting the monetary burden of menstrual products within the region. Our menstrual cycles can be reclaimed through the belief of our bountiful nature.
