Mingxuan Ma

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.
