Yixin's exploration of period shaming began with the aesthetics of bloodstains. By simulating traces of blood on various materials and capturing them through a microlens, Yixin aimed to reveal their inherent beauty. The process took an intriguing turn when the use of a cleaning agent named 'Grandma's Secret' to treat menstrual bloodstains inspired Yixin to see period shaming as a deeply ingrained, generational public secret among women. This realization led her to recreate the scene of blood dissolving in the cleaning agent, seeking to dispel the associated shame. She printed these abstract patterns on Chinese Xuan paper as a means to challenge and break the taboo surrounding menstruation.

Yixin's work also broadens the conversation to encompass a wider examination of period shaming and its implications. By poetically reconstructing fragments of women's daily lives, including the often-embarrassing and shameful aspects, Yixin reflects on the misogyny present in everyday experiences while also celebrating the journey of womanhood. Through her art, she seeks to challenge societal norms and foster a deeper understanding and acceptance of women's experiences.
