Systemic Determinants




Systemic Determinants of Your Smile is my undergraduate thesis project. In this installation, I address dental healthcare disparities resulting from systemic racism. The three objectives are to provide context for the problem, spin the wheels of empathy, and offer resources as a call to action. This installation’s footprint was supplemented through the simulation of a dental office with a real, functional orthodontic chair and medical side table.
