These are photographs of teeth that were extracted from Iraqi prisoners of war by U.S. Army medics during the first Gulf War. The over-sized images represent a duality: how humanity can exist within the paradigm of war. When I was first told what these teeth were, I was immediately horrified, assuming that the teeth were extracted for torture purposes, (i.e. Abu Gharib), or that they were some kind of morbid souvenir from the battlefield. However they were not removed under coercion: they were removed at the request of the Iraqi soldiers because their own health care was insufficient and they were in pain. Immediately, I was taken aback by my own assumptions and realized that I was jumping to a conclusion based not on reality or truth. My conclusions were drawn from information stemming from mainstream news media in the United States. I have never stepped foot anywhere near the front lines where so many soldiers are serving, and subsequently dying, every day. This is a perfect example of how (my own) ignorance creates a reality that may not exist. Nonetheless, these teeth also present a way to contemplate the atrocities that happen every day in Iraq. They become symbolic in many ways, such as representing postmortem identification techniques. Teeth are unique like fingerprints as no two sets of teeth are identical. The enamel being 98 percent inorganic, teeth are the most durable part of the human body and sometimes the only remaining fragment available for identification. It is more common for people to have been to a dentist than to have been fingerprinted. "Forensic dentistry plays a major role in the identification of those individuals who cannot be identified visually or by other means. "[1] They may represent the human casualties that are so badly disfigured or destroyed that the only remnant may be a tooth. The teeth enable one to think of the families of casualties on both sides, many of who must have to go through the grueling process of identifying body parts or providing dental records to the authorities.
