Price: 2000.00

This artifact is one of five exclusive lots created to sanctify my truth. It is the physical limit of my sincerity—a moment of reclaiming power, forever suspended in time. Encased within an optical dome is my own deciduous tooth: a genuine witness of childhood, bearing every crack, every trace of erosion, and a profound through-and-through defect left by decay.

This piece is a monument to cruel manipulation. When I was seven years old, dentists refused to treat this tooth and decided instead on its extraction. I, a child, was offered a choice: "A little shot or a cotton swab?". Paralyzed by the fear of the needle, I chose the swab, unaware it was a calculated deception—an illusion of anesthesia. I was stripped of my right to protection from pain, turning a medical procedure into a raw, un-numbed ordeal.

In this work, I have materialized that betrayal. The hollow of the cavity is pierced by an authentic veterinary surgical needle, with which I have literally sewn the tooth to a fragment of 100-year-old antique handmade lace. The entire scene is submerged in a deep, hyper-realistic blood imitation, transforming a memory of trauma into a sacred altar of survival.

This is an artifact for those who value radical honesty and uncomfortable art. For those who understand that true strength is born from the ability to extract one's truth from deception and reassemble it into an object of sovereign beauty.

This unique method exposes the finest details with absolute optical clarity, showcasing the jewelry-like precision of the surgical stitch and the fragile intricacy of century-old lace.
