Asagi Maeda lives in Tokyo, where she makes jewelry and lectures on jewelry making at Jyoshibi University of Art and Design. She is fascinated by the notion of the city being a mass of boxes, each of which we can peer into and catch a glimpse of a stranger’s life. She’s translated this idea into her necklaces, bracelets, and rings, which feature tiny worlds. What delights her most about her creations is that people can both wear them as adornment and become part of the worlds they depict.
