Description
These paper-casting models of nine people’s mandibular teeth are created by the artist. Inside a plexiglas box there are nine square wooden lattices. The teeth models are put into each lattice respectively, and are labeled by a combination of letter “A” and numbers at the bottom of each lattice. According to the caption, the classification of teeth models is a representation of the classification and examination of different people’s identities. (Yifan Shang ‘25)
