Climacteric women: their untold stories hidden in the shadows, whispers of their dreams carried away by the wind. Pulsating carnal desires left unacknowledged; wisdom betrayed by the fallibility of memory. Faces that once gazed in the mirror now reflect strangers. Bodies heavy, wet, burned, and melted. Silenced pains, finite cycles.
In this series of paintings, the body is represented by a house. 'Climacteric Woman' celebrates an unspoken chapter in a woman's life, a weight often carried quietly. It invites you to amplify your voice, resignify your dreams, and reclaim the beauty you were told was lost.

Symptoms associated with climacteric include hot flushes, night sweats, fatigue, headache, dizziness, numbness, sore limbs, decreased attention, anxiousness, nervousness, insomnia, mood swings, sorrow, depression, etc.
