About 3ME
3ME (pronounced "Three Em Ee") is an artist based in Nagoya, Japan, working primarily with brass and silver to explore the concept of “wearable art.”
Jewelry pieces such as rings and ear cuffs are reimagined as elements of the human face and arranged individually within frames to form a single composition. In addition, the practice includes works made from leftover metal materials generated during the production process, reflecting an awareness of sustainability. By combining the distinctive textures of metal with monochromatic compositions, the work is constructed through the accumulation of small elements, moving fluidly between jewelry and fine art.
Since beginning this practice in 2016, an experience studying in the UK deepened an interest in color, leading from leather craft to metalwork and the current body of work. The artist has presented work in solo and group exhibitions at museums, art galleries, and cafés, and continues to expand the practice through department stores, hair salons, online platforms, and pop-up events.
