Description (View/Hide)
What Can We Learn from Menstrual Blood?

This illustrated editorial series explores the emerging scientific and medical value of menstrual blood, reframing a subject often treated as private or taboo as a source of information, diagnosis and research. Across the cover and accompanying spreads, anatomical imagery, medical references and visual metaphors translate complex reproductive-health research into an accessible editorial narrative. The work balances clinical subject matter with an expressive illustrative language, using colour, scale and symbolic imagery to challenge discomfort around menstruation while encouraging curiosity about what menstrual blood may reveal about the body and women’s health.
