Does the association of red shape of inform a woman’s world? We are reclaiming ourselves, our sacred ancestral power and rewriting the story of menopause, and hormonal wellness. We are rising up. Red embodies fundamental aspects of existence: life force, passion, energy, courage, and raw primal power. Tied to the root chakra, symbolising grounding, vitality, and the drive to act with authenticity. Spiritually aligned with blood, life force, and long revered across cultures as a symbol of strength, vitality, and the sacred divine and sacred feminine. Red is old magic, core magic, transitional magic. The colour of transformation, resilience, and creation, symbolic of the very birthplace of humanity. The frame is reclaimed with paste and plaster, adding to a conversation of stories rewritten, and challenging ideas of disposability, and being put out to pasture. Reclaimed - not recycled.
