      In Their Glory addresses the stigma women are raised with to believe their menstrual cycle is shameful, uncleanly, and should be noted in a concealed manner. Stemming from ingrained belief systems, this notion of suppression is inter-twined with religious beliefs, societal ideals, and social norms. The images display a symphony of acceptance for what naturally occurs. Driven by publicly embracing what many have ingrained in themselves not to acknowledge freely in their own body. The body of work navigates through the Rorschach method, allowing a psychological test for the viewer to experience this process of deliverance and acceptance first hand.
