Teeth

Teeth (Tenner, 2026) is a collection of seven short comics by Xueting Yang. The stories take place in a borderland where past and present are hard to tell apart, and where dreams quietly leak into everyday life. Water returns again and again, moving freely between scenes the way memory moves between moments. I work with a limited palette and very few words, often letting a single figure carry a page. Many images arrive spontaneously, and I let them lead; words and pictures grow in dialogue until a story takes shape. Teeth received a gold award in The Most Beautiful Books of the Year and a diploma at Visuelt in Norway 2026.
