The concept of opulence revolves around the symbols of wealth and status that hold significance within a particular community.
We find it fascinating to explore how these symbols vary across different cultures.
In many traditional African cultures, the adornments worn serve as representations of history, emotions, background, and status.
Similarly, in the thriving culture of hip-hop, the trends that emerge from within this community have become the standard across all areas of pop culture.
Our objective is to delve into its origins and create a visual bridge between the traditional African cultures and our contemporary urban culture. This show highlights the urban trend of having gold teeth.
Coined as grillz by Houston hip-hop culture, gold teeth have historically held significance in the black community as a symbol of wealth, success, and individuality.
