Menstrualis


"Menstrualis" refers to the etimology of the words menstruation and menstrual, which means monthly, which comes from the latin mensis = month and menes = moon. The female body is exagerated to the extreme to become a symbol and the menstrual cycle linked to the lunar phases. References to culture are mixed with science's representation of the reproductive system and female chromosomes. Menstrualis is a representation of woman.
