The Lunatic - Alexandra Silcox

The Lunatic

This piece followed an idea of the connection between women and the lunar cycle. The myth behind the lunar cycle was that people went insane during a moon phase. The word "lunatic" developed to describe such persons case. Women, however, had been always thought to be connected to the moon because of the menstrual cycle was so accurately similar toward the lunar cycle. This phenomenon had led to believe that women went crazy because of their connection to the moon. The colors I used represented the correspondent between these two ideas.
