Coming of Age
Coming of Age was designed to create a direct conversation about the nature of menstruation. The intricate and cyclical nature of the beading is a direct illustration of the intricate and cyclical nature of menstruation. The beauty of the embellished garment eases the discomfort surrounding the idea of period blood stains and makes the topic a lighter discussion. My goal is to portray the menstruation process as it really is – a beautiful and natural function, essential to the continuation of life.
