A woman meticulously collected the blood
from her menstrual cycle for four months to make a painting.
Artist Timi Pali wanted to make an image which
represents the importance and fragility of motherhood.
She used tampons to collect her blood and her
fingers to paint the matter onto four individual canvases which were eventually placed together.
She told Mirror magazine,
“The focus is not on the
blood, but the work has its message because of the menstrual flow. One drop of
experiment and I realise the beauty of the pain, the value of the period,
fertilising my whole being.
“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.”
