Zlatar. (2023). [Pink The Bear] [Acrylic, 4 x 6 inches], series of 10.
Periods marked the transition from childhood to womanhood, and, by God, I was scared. This series is not about nostalgia, but rather about clinging to the roots of innocence. It utilizes my childhood bear, Pink, to explore the diverse experiences of womanhood and the inequity surrounding menstruation.
