A tooth in the right side of Lydia Ourahmane’s mouth had always given her trouble. Seven or eight years ago, she had a disastrous root canal and the tooth, a maxillary molar, never really recovered. Around the time Ourahmane graduated from Goldsmiths, London, in 2014, with an undergraduate degree in fine art, she was driving out of town in a friend’s van. They had taken their lunches with them to eat on the road. Ourahmane took a bite – she can’t recall what she was eating that day but she remembers that it was soft – and the tooth, always bothersome, loosened completely and fell out into her food. There was only a stump of it left in her mouth. She later had to have it extracted, leaving a sizable gap. - Lydia Ourahmane嘴巴右边的一颗牙齿总是给她带来麻烦。七年或八年前,她有一个灾难性的根管和牙齿,上颌磨牙,从来没有真正恢复。大约在2014年,欧拉曼从伦敦戈德史密斯大学毕业,获得美术本科学位的时候,她正开着一辆朋友的面包车出城。他们带着他们的午餐在路上吃。欧拉曼咬了一口——她想不起那天吃了什么,但她记得那是软的——牙齿总是很烦人,完全松动了,掉进了她的食物里。她嘴里只剩一根树桩。她后来不得不把它提取出来,留下了相当大的缺口。
