consequence

the artist's teeth - monica lacey 2013

Consequence is often a tough pill to swallow.  In my case, this photo depicts the consequences of not caring properly for my teeth as a teenager.  Huge cavities in several molars & all four of my wisdom teeth meant the teeth required extraction.  I'm alright with it now, but it likely could have been prevented, as many consequences can be.  I insisted on keeping them though (I mean, they're my teeth), and the first one to be pulled, seen in the center, I covered in gold leaf and dragon's blood resin.
