‘The pain we feel’ is visualised through chemigrams, where menstruation blood has been used to draw how various women feel on their period. Women’s pain during menstruation is often dismissed and not understood because others cannot experience or see it. This abstract process allows for the pain to visually describe and bring awareness to how period can be for different individuals
