Our Conversation Ends Here, Period.

Rational

The interactive installation reframes menstruation as natural and life-giving, addressing the discomfort and shame many teenagers experience due to limited education and persistent cultural taboos. Although most people recognise menstruation as a normal biological process, only a small proportion feel comfortable talking about it. Boys, in particular, have fewer chances to learn, which further reinforces stigma and silence.

A large flower structure made from sanitary pads opens when a viewer approaches, symbolising growth, acceptance, and the recognition of menstrual experiences. Touch interaction then triggers motion graphics that connect menstruation with the moon cycle, encouraging viewers to understand it as a natural rhythm rather than something to hide. The installation offers a gentle, reflective space that promotes open discussion and helps reduce stigma surrounding menstrual health.
