My illustration is responding to an open call for artwork on the theme of periods. It depicts a relaxed, self-assured figure lounging comfortably while reading a book titled "Period Self Care." The illustration uses bold, cheerful colours and patterns to promote a positive and empowered narrative around menstruation. Floral and abstract tattoo-like designs on the character’s arms and legs symbolize body awareness and self-expression. Elements like cosy clothing, houseplants, and a soft interior environment suggest comfort, calm, and self-nurturing—emphasizing that rest and care are essential aspects of the menstrual experience. The overall mood is one of acceptance, softness, and pride.
