SIYI TANG
Period

Period. is a collection of work that uses my personal experience of irregular menstruation due to polycystic ovary syndrome as an entry point to explore women's experiences of menstruation. I have explored the experiences of women from diverse backgrounds, showing how menstruation is both a uniquely personal and a collective experience that affects women, and how women are coping. Ultimately, Period. positions women's experiences of menstruation as puzzling, confusing, painful, and alienating and advocates for more woman-centered and menstruation-positive medical care and social acceptance of this completely natural and beautiful phenomenon.
