In the Jar by Ayumi Shibata 

Ayumi Shibata, born in 1982, in Yokohama, Japan. She moved to New York in 2007 and started making art pieces by paper. For her series “In the Jar” she created ethereal cities entirely cut out by hand and installed into glass containers

 Working within this cultural framework, she uses the traditional method of Japanese paper cutting to bring attention to the delicate relationship we as humans have with the environment. Within her work, she wants to create a discussion about how we relate and care about the world we were given.
