I have embodied the
feelings which overcome me when I menstruate. I translated them into a physical
object – a menstrual cup. Irregular menstruations – sometimes with several
months between periods – are my biggest fear and a source of insecurity. Therefore, I
rejoice in every bleeding as it indicates that my body is healthy and shows
that I am an adult woman.
Blood stains on snow
white cups invoke several different feelings; from disgust and filthiness to
admiration and satisfaction. Project comprises several differently blood
stained ceramic menstrual cups and a plaque with a personal story next to them.
The work was exhibited at the 20th Biennial of Ceramics Beograd
in Beograd, Serbia (2020). It was executed under the mentorship of doc. Kristina Rutar at the Academy of Fine
Arts and Design of the University of Ljubljana.
