ZHIXIN MAI｜麦沚昕

麦沚昕的作品小、静、柔软，却拥有惊人的穿透力。

她将天然木材、银与纺织材料结合，将传统首饰工艺与跨学科方法融合，制作可佩戴的“微型雕塑”。她关注性别、身体、身份的流动，也关注“树”作为记忆的隐喻——年轮、质地、断裂与修复，都像人的成长轨迹。

她的作品不是装饰性的，而是具有思考性的“贴身叙事”。
你佩戴它，也被它“记录”。

她的实践提醒我们：变化不是巨大的，而是缓慢、细微、嵌在日常触觉之中。

Zhixin MAI’s works are small, quiet, and soft, yet possess a striking intensity. Combining natural wood, silver, and textile materials, she merges traditional jewellery craftsmanship with interdisciplinary approaches to create wearable “micro-sculptures.” Her practice engages with the fluidity of gender, body, and identity, while also considering the “tree” as a metaphor for memory—its rings, textures, fractures, and repairs echoing the trajectories of human growth. Her works are not decorative, but function as intimate, embodied narratives.

You wear them, but they also “record” you. Her practice reminds us that change is not grand or abrupt, but gradual, subtle, and embedded within the tactile rhythms of everyday life.
