WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM MENSTRUAL BLOOD?

This editorial illustration and layout project explores the growing scientific interest in menstrual blood as a source of medical information and diagnostic insight. Through a combination of expressive illustration, visual metaphor and dynamic editorial composition, the spreads translate complex research into an engaging and accessible visual narrative. Anatomical references, laboratory imagery and symbolic forms are used to challenge the stigma surrounding menstruation while highlighting its potential relevance to women’s health, diagnosis and future medical research. The project balances information and visual storytelling to present a traditionally overlooked subject with curiosity, clarity and contemporary relevance.
