This series follows the pain women carry from girlhood to old age. Young girls are looked at as objects, and what happens then can stay for a lifetime; I carried my own for almost forty years. Grown women are told to handle periods, pain and the comments that come with them quietly. After fifty, women are told they become invisible: no longer wanted, no longer counted. I want that whole span to be seen.
