Rina Jost
Aria of menstrual cramps

Exploration

Un-commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
Aria of Menstrual Cramps pays a playful homage to monthly female misery. Menstruation is still a hush-hush subject surrounded by prejudices and embarassement. I'd like to change the way we talk (or not talk) about menstruation.

How was the illustration used:
This is a personal non-commisioned illustration. I made it for a public exhibition in my home town and I currently use it as a postcard.

How did you make this work:
Vector illustration made in Affinity Designer
