The Art of the Smile
The hero is inspired by Bouche, a smile by Jacqueline Popovic.
Bouche — French for “mouth” — is a hand-designed installation, built stone by stone from amethyst, pearl, and crystal. A smile rendered the way a jeweler would render one. Light at the lip, shadow at the corner, the suggestion of teeth without the diagram of teeth.
That’s the orientation here. Cosmetic dentistry as a quiet art. Porcelain matched to skin, age, and hair. Restraint as a method. The goal is to give people back the smile they were supposed to have.
