Red Flag (1971)

Although the action of removing a tampon is so common for people with periods, seeing this action in art form causes many emotions. I showed this piece to a few of my friends. Some had positive reactions but most however gasped, gagged and had mostly disgusted reactions. It is a very intimate image, with the tampon being the central focus of the piece. I was very intrigued when I first saw the image as it took me a few moments to actually understand what I was looking at. I love the contrast of the dark background with the vivid blood red tampon. I was slight taken aback because of how personal it was but it is the reality.
