Rosa De Jong is a freelance designer based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Her most important priority as a designer is making everyone happy at the end of a project. She aims to create works that people want to see, rather than pieces that simply grab attention. Her "Micro Matter" series, released last year, is a perfect example of this passion. As the name suggests, "Micro Matter"—"Micro" (small) and "Matter" (substance)—features miniature models the size of an index finger neatly encased in test tubes. The materials used are nothing special, but rather items she finds in her neighborhood or while out and about. There's also a heartwarming story about using a tree branch picked up by her beloved cat. The creation of each piece took a surprisingly short time, taking anywhere from half a day to several days. Rather than working on a piece for days on end, she first observes, thinks, makes some adjustments, then thinks again and makes some adjustments. She completes her pieces through this cycle. "Sometimes, while I'm working, the piece suddenly seems to gain vitality, and when I realize this, it becomes even more enjoyable," she commented.

She says that the inspiration for this project came from the idea that it would be wonderful to be able to immerse myself in a work of art. "I'm not good at devoting long periods of time to one project, but I'm looking forward to this project because there's still so much I want to create," she said. The pieces were apparently for sale locally, and were delivered to me in a neatly designed tube. International shipping is yet to be determined, but you can keep up with the latest updates on her website or her Instagram account (https://www.instagram.com/byrosa/).
