“Días especiales” is an instrospective exploration to the female body, reflecting on the menstrual cycle. But rather than offering a negative connotation with the association of dirtyness and impurity in certain cultures and religions, I want to cherish women’s bodies by exploring the menstruation cycle in a positive way.

The print consists of ten images inspired from medical books of microscopic samples of biopsies of vaginal tissue from different days of the menstruation cycle, and taken them as reference to draw onto each of the copper plates.
