Conceptual textile design, demonstrating video images on textile material, and menstrual blood the cyclical dialectic of life and death.

From a personal perspective, the cycles of life are embodied in feminine essence, express the beauty of human nature, but this essence is buried under taboos and sanctions. The project was conceived from a textile that underwent silk screen printing incorporating menstrual blood, and was buried in the ground for a year, where the work formed like a fetus and absorbed its story from nature. The new textile carries the project’s genetic code and demonstrates the notion of life and death a whole, cyclical movement.
