Denver-based Lewis had the idea of using the slow, hypnotic way blood moves in water to create a series of abstract photographs. She began to experiment with blood in her work in 2012, and eventually &quot;Beauty in Blood&quot; was born. The beautiful results are designed to challenge the existing stigmas and shame associated with women&#39;s menstrual cycles.

“Naturally there are ‘haters’ in the comments section and loads of people write &#39;Beauty in Blood&#39; off as being &#39;shock&#39; art or ‘dumb’ and ‘gross’,” she said. “It’s such a shame they’re not considering why they think that.
