Casual Layered Analysis
We used casual layered analysis as a research method, and an approach to make inquires into the past, present, and future to frame the problems around resilience and menstruation.
Tampon taboo
To unpack the topic of menstruation, we took tampon as a boundary object to concentrate for further analysis and asked as many questions as we can regarding tampon—one of the most commonly used and stigmatized tools women use.
Matrix
Restructuring issues discussed around menstruation, we came up with this 'individual-society/positive-nagative' matrix to include more perspectives in our research.
Language of menstruation
In this illustration I created, I meant to point out the fact that menstruation has been translated from a constant state of normal to something we need to hide, to skirt around, to create a distance from our body. The moment we take that tampon out, is the moment discourses about menstruation start.
Interview
This is interviews I conducted to explore what people close to me react to the subject of menstruation.
Activity
To further explore people's understanding of menstruation, we designed this diagram with different branched to help people to obtain a clearer understanding of menstruation and begin to conceptualize menstruation as a constant and natural state of normal.
