WORK-IN-PROGRESS: The body of work is in development and will be presented in the future
No two teeth are the same. Each has its own unique form, like a fingerprint. The teeth in a mouth show how different forms can exist in harmony, each remaining what it is. The order of nature is organic, and it is beautiful.

I am drawn to the organic shapes of teeth. They remind me of trees and plants rooted in the earth. Like flowers,
they grow, are nourished, and eventually decay. I feel rhythm and movement in teeth.

Through my experience with orthodontic treatment, I became aware of tension, movement, control, rhythm,
balance, and other forces at work. These observations and experiences led me to create the interdisciplinary work Teeth Variation.
balance, and other forces at work. These observations and experiences led me to create the interdisciplinary work Teeth Variation.
I see the orthodontic treatment itself as a form of choreography. Each tooth moves in relation to the others, responding to forces that guide, resist, and transform their relationships over time. The orthodontist becomes a kind of conductor, while the teeth form an ever-changing ensemble.
At the end of the treatment, I felt my mouth had become like a gallery or a choreographic stage for an orthodontist, in which these forms, forces, rhythms, and movements unfold.
Through Teeth Variations, I would like to transform the space into a place where these sensibilities and
relationships can be felt.
