About the work

About the work

A drawing of an exaggerated set of teeth, inspired by the unsettling imagery often experienced in dreams, particularly recurring dreams of teeth falling out. The distorted proportions and emphasis on the mouth transform a familiar part of the human body into something strange and unfamiliar. I intentionally left portions of the composition unresolved, allowing the unfinished quality to preserve a sense of ambiguity and reflect the fragmented nature of dreams.
