Mingxuan Ma
Mingxuan is a London-based jewellery designer from Beijing, graduated from the London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London. Her work explores the psychological tension and emotional intimacy between individuals and environments. Shaped by her academic background in fine art, she approaches jewellery not merely as adornment, but as a wearable installations that navigate the space between personal emotion and collective urban identity.
Dionysian City is a project grounded in in-depth research and immersive fieldwork across London. By merging personal impressions with the cultural characteristics of various neighbourhoods, I translate them into a series of chain designs. The resulting collection comprises six unique necklaces, each representing a specific piece of urban infrastructure or a distinct district within the city, For example Barbican. These symbolic forms allow her to transform the material and psychological texture of London into wearable narratives. Using jewellery as a medium highlights often-overlooked corners of the city and invites the audience to rediscover their surroundings with renewed awareness and a sense of belonging.
