Shiyuan Xu creates porcelain sculptures influenced by biology, reflecting patterns and structures of microscopic life forms. Using porcelain Paperclay and glaze, her works appear amoeba-like, symbolizing growth and adaptation. Influenced by D'Arcy Thompson, Xu emphasizes how her art captures motion and life's interactions with the environment.

Xu’s work is featured in exhibitions, underscoring her contribution to contemporary art and cultural dialogue.
