It is a pause that brings clarity. I rest without disengaging, observe without urgency, and release what no longer belongs—emotionally and mentally.\u003cbr\u003eMy body doing exactly what it knows how to do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter leaving my career as a telecom engineer to live fully as an artist, I began observing rhythms I had long overlooked. In my mid-30s, I started tracking my menstrual cycle not to manage it, but to understand it. What revealed itself was a precise intelligence: four distinct phases, each carrying its own emotional, physical, and creative logic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat once felt like inconsistency became structure. Mood was not randomness; it was information. Energy was not constant—and it was never meant to be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis body of work is a refusal to pathologize natural rhythms. Nothing here needs fixing. Each phase carries wisdom. Each deserves respect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"60 x 60 x 3","offer_id":46538439033029,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/9132\/6405\/files\/d9dcb612-10f338_c8faf586c323496d8edf6430a950db35_mv2.jpg?v=1784104873","url":"https:\/\/www.priyagore.art\/products\/the-beginning-as-it-is","provider":"Priya Gore Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
