Beauty in Our Blood
Aarushi Khanna
About the Piece
This artwork symbolizes menstruation delicately woven into the natural world, much like the intertwining vines embracing the pillar and stems. It blooms as a flower unleashing blood freely to depict the beauty of our flow. The authentic connection to its natural beauty is seen through the real flower petals assorted across the ovaries.
About Aarushi Khanna
Hello! My name is Aarushi Khanna and I am a sophomore in college. I’m also a menstrual activist working with PERIOD, the Pad Project, and legislators to push for change.
I’ve initiated global projects such as a film and donation drive. I’m currently working on an educational program to share with not only individuals in my community, but around the world. Menstruation is beautiful and deserves to be celebrated. I will continue to fight for the right to bleed freely!
Aarushi lives in Richmond, Virginia.
