Jietong Xu
About
My name is Jietong Xu. I am studying Ceramics and Glass at the Royal College of Art (RCA) and previously earned a degree in Illustration and Visual Media from UAL LCC, where I developed a passion for integrating illustration with diverse materials. My work delves into the emotional connections between individuals through the medium of glass, drawing inspiration from the intricate dynamics within my own family. Utilizing glass weaving techniques, I bring thoughts and emotions to life, wielding flames as a brush to transform glass into a medium that captures the delicate yet resilient nature of human relationships. My pieces focus on transforming imagined worlds into tangible realities, reflecting the complex interplay of support and conflict, and aiming to evoke empathy and introspection. Through my art, I invite viewers to reflect on their own relationships and the healing power of human connection.
