A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Aural Dentata

This curious set of oak plugs (complete with real human teeth from a dentist friend of his) are Ze‘s handiwork.

    The only thing that creeps me out is that those are not his own teeth.

    When my friend Nathan got his wisdom teeth pulled, he cleaned, polished and rounded two of them and wears them in his ears all the time….they look crazy, as you start to get closer to him you notice the little cracks and spots and you’re like…..wait…
    It’s extra-awesome that they’re his own teeth.

    I’ve always liked the “random things in plugs” idea. This one is neat although it could have been executed better.

    I’ve been planning on doing this ever since I found out I need four pre-molars extracted! Two in a set of plugs and at least one metal-plated and strung as a necklace. I love teeth!
