PEARLY WHITE
(2011-2013)
*Exhibited at Saatchi Gallery (London)
For as long as human beings have existed, they have sought to adorn themselves with symbols of status.
Animal and even human teeth were often worn by chiefs and high-ranking citizens to signify their position in society. While pearls have traditionally been regarded as symbols of civilization and delicacy, teeth have been viewed as brutal and uncivilized. For Pearly White, I have sifted through thousands upon thousands of pearls, selecting only those whose imperfections make them perfect for their new role.
Each piece is unique and custom-made, blending the elegance of pearls with the raw, untamed spirit of their historical counterparts.
