Replacement

A Boy's tooth is loose and his Mother has marked a date to have the tooth pulled. The Boy is terrified of the pain; it may as well be a death sentence. The fear causes immense anxiety and he spirals down into a web of nightmares and irrational ways to avoid his Mother.

결국 올 것이 오고야 말았다. 앞니가 흔들거리는 걸 엄마가 알게 된 것이다. 이를 뽑아야 하는 공포에서 벗어나고 찾아온 또 다른 불안감, 쉬운게 하나도 없다.

이갈이는 더 단단한 새 이를 얻기 위해서 피할 수 없는 교체 (Replacement) 의 과정이자 시기적으로 가장 먼저 겪어야 하는 최초의 성장 관문이라고도 할 수 있다.
살다 보면 피할 수 없고 반드시 극복해야 하는 경험도 하게 되지만, 아픔이 있으면 보상도 따른다는 것, 죽을만큼 무서웠던 것들도 지나고 보면 별일 아니었음을 전혀 알 수 없었던 유년시절의 순간들이 있다.
어린시절 가장 충격적 경험 중 하나였던 이뽑기의 기억을 되살려 성장과정에 압도된 아이가 발치의 공포를 겪게되는 이야기를 그려보았다.
