words from the creator:

Cats are widely known as evil spirits and bad omens, linked with negative energy. However, they are also associated with rebirth and longevity, hence the “nine lives.” The reproductive system is also seen as disgusting, negative, and something to keep quiet about, yet it is the foundation of life. Why should people who menstruate keep quiet about it? Why is fertility beautiful and disgusting in the same breath? Why is menopause something to be ashamed about? This piece is meant to show the beauty of the reproductive system, but also represent the burden it puts on the people who have it in the eyes of our patriarchal society.
